Nowhere2Run

Following drummer Jay Weinberg’s crushing pair of singles with members of Deafheaven and NOWHERE2RUN, the former Slipknot skinsman has unveiled a soft-and-gauzy shoegaze collab with Canadian outfit Softcult. Weinberg’s third song for his developing singles series is called “Drown Fountain,” and it build itself up through a hypnagogic tapestry of distortion-blown, yet heavenly guitar strums. He gently whispers his lines alongside Softcult’s Mercedes Arn-Horn — who he noted in an Instagram post “has one of the most incredible voices in modern music” — before the song fades off towards an ambient, orange-aura sunset. The song also features contributions from Arn-Horn’s twin sibling, Phoenix. Notably, Weinberg reveals that this is his vocal debut, and the song is absent of drums. “‘Drown Fountain’ is this weird song I started writing back in 2013 that I’d keep revisiting over the years, but I could never figure out how to get it across the finish line,” Weinberg explains in a statement, adding that falling into Softcult’s music is what ultimately unlocked the track’s full potential. “It took my introduction to Softcult’s music and reaching out to see if they’d be interested in collaborating for the song to finally become what it was meant to be. It’s an honor to work with them on this song, especially in that it feels more vulnerable than anything I’ve created in the past. “I’ve never sang before, I’ve always had my loud drums to ‘protect me’ in a way…it’s all new and exciting territory, and to have Mercedes and Phoenix help me bring it to life in this beautiful way has been an artistic dream.” You can sample the sweet and hazy flow of “Drown Fountain” via the visualizer up above. As previously reported, Revolver recently partnered with Weinberg to produce an exclusive 12″ pressing of “Drone Operator,” his song with Deafheaven’s George Clarke, and “Sandstone,” his collaboration with NOWHERE2RUN. The vinyl release arrives on “Green & Purple Starburst” wax, and features sleeve art and a B-side etching from visual artist Paul Romano.⁠The 12” is limited to 250 copies, and can be ordered from Revolver’s shop. In related news, it was also recently announced that Weinberg is the new drummer for Fuming Mouth. Their first album with him behind the kit is called The Ringing Bell, and it sees release July 17th via Triple B Records.
