John Joseph Brill releases new single "A Place To Drown"
John Joseph Brill has released his hauntingly beautiful new single ‘A Place To Drown through Kobalt. This gorgeous track is taken from his forthcoming EP (out July 11th) and is the follow up to lead single and EP title track ‘I'’m Not Alright’, which was released earlier this year and having premiered on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 show, clocked up over 100,000 Spotify streams and counting. The beginning of the song reminds me of Evanescence's My Immortal. That piano is amazing! I adore it! Stream this gem below!



Speaking about A Place To Drown Brill explains;
As with all of the songs on the record ‘A Place To Drown’ is a break-up song, quite explicitly so. But for me it's also about leaving behind an enormous section of your life... the city I lived in, the people I grew to know, the rituals I had for myself. The place to drown itself refers to me, often in relationships I feel there's a danger that one can become an object of escapism rather than a partner...

Andrew Davie of Bear’s Den has both produced and performed on the EP, alongside his band mate's and John's usual collaborators. Speaking about working together on the EP Brill says
We'’re old friends and for a record this personal I wanted someone I trusted to take care of my songs. I’m delighted with what we were able to create”.
