Interview with joan

We had the pleasure of interviewing joan over Zoom video!

Beloved alt-pop duo joan, who have garnered over 200 million global streams and more than one million monthly listeners across streaming platforms, have unveiled their latest single "face" via Photo Finish Records. Co-written with Cris Stayton and co-written/produced by joan—Alan Benjamin Thomas and Steven Rutherford—"face" began as an experimental writing session on Zoom. The collaboration quickly turned into something much more personal, capturing an honest and poignant reflection on the passage of time and the longing for lost moments.

"This song is about time and how quickly it slips away," the band shares. "In the blink of an eye, something that seems like it could go on forever is gone, and what you previously took for granted, you would do literally anything to get a mundane second of it back.  Nothing is supposed to last forever, but sometimes you have to lose it to understand how special the moments you had together were.”

Recorded and produced in their Little Rock studio, "face" is joined by an accompanying music video that blends live performance with projected imagery.  "We wanted to make it feel like a performance video with a twist," the band explains. "We shot Steven performing the song separately and then projected him onto the wall while Alan performed. It feels surreal, it feels connected even though we weren’t. There’s something eerie and beautiful about it."

The new single follows joan’s recently released tracks, “magic,” “heartbodymindsoul” and “eyes,” marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the band since their 2023 debut album, superglue.  joan are now gearing up for an underplay headline tour kicking off Apri 24th in Dallas, TX titled “the close friends tour.” This follows a sold-out Fall tour with MisterWives. Over the years, joan has performed in 15,000+ capacity venues in Asia, headlined festivals in the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, and Hong Kong, and supported artists such as COIN, The Aces, The Maine, and Jeremy Zucker.

joan’s journey began with their debut EP portra and has since flourished through fan-favorite releases like cloudy & partly cloudy, hi & bye, and superglue. With each project, joan continue to expand their loyal following.
