Over the course of 12 chameleonic tracks, the New York-bred rock band build another world inhabited by ghosts and angels and aliens, inciting a strange and lovely daze as the backdrop shifts from the mundane (subdivisions, highways, hotel parking lots) to the extraordinary (deserts, battlefields, the moon). But within its vast imagination lies a potent truth-telling on the part of singer/guitarist John Ross, whose lyrics closely examine his recent struggle with cancer. The follow-up to 2021’s A Billion Little Lights—a critically acclaimed effort praised by the likes of Pitchfork, NPR, Vulture, and Stereogum, who named it “one of the prettiest rock records of the past decade”—ILYSM emerges as a truly revelatory body of work, transforming the most painful reflection into moments of transcendence.Songs written and produced by John RossEngineered, mixed and co-produced by Justin PizzoferratoCo-produced by Peter SilbermanAdditional engineering by Nicholas Principe at People TeethMastered by Carl SaffJohn Ross: Vocals, Guitars and KeysDan Keegan: Drums and PercussionArden Yonkers: Bass and KeysDavid Moore: Piano, Banjo and FarfisaJeremy Viner: Saxophone and ClarinetPeter Silberman: Vocals, Guitars and KeysMike ‘Slo Mo’ Brenner: Pedal SteelJulien Baker: Vocals on “Hold My Hand”Samantha Crain: Vocals on “St. Beater Camry”J Mascis: Guitar on “See You Better Now”Julia Steiner: Vocals on “ILYSM” and “See You Better Now”Ryley Walker: Guitar on “Simple Glyphs”Yasmin Williams: Guitar on “The Grass Widow In The Glass Window”
