Self-produced, singer-songwriter quannnic shares the new single “Aviator,” today, marking the second offering from their forthcoming album Warbrained due August 22nd via deadAir. Alongside the new single, quannnic shares the BlindLight-directed music video with animations from Mario Dante Napoli and claymations by Heather Alyce Steen. Warbrained is quannnic’s sonically darkest album to date and will include the lead single “Observer,” which arrived with a twisted music video directed by BlindLight Co. x Midvessel.
Additionally, quannnic will embark on their first headline North American tour this September with support kmoe. The 17-date run will see quannnic bring their live show to stages across the continent, including Miami, New York City, Montreal, Denver, Seattle, Los Angeles and more. Tickets on sale HERE. quannnic is also slated to perform at Louder Than Life, Riot Fest and Aftershock festival this fall.
Growing up in Florida, quannnic played countless shows with friends, which lead them to hone in on their own genre-bending and noisy signature style of homespun indie rock. Their debut album Kenopsia was solely released through their friend’s DistroKid account and Bandcamp, and became a breakout moment for the then 19-year-old, who has since accumulated 157 million+ streams across their catalog. Over a year and a half after its relatively quiet release, the album cut “life imitates life” hit #9 on Spotify’s Viral 50 – US and landed on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart.
The same week that they hit their Billboard peak in 2023, quannnic released their sophomore studio LP Stepdream self-engineered alongside Photographic Memory and Chris Gehringer. The single “South” featured a collaboration with Jeff Schroeder of Smashing Pumpkins, and the campaign coincided with their first tour: a co-headline run with label-mate Jane Remover. The success of both LPs led to festival appearances at Lollapalooza, Sick New World, and two tours as direct support for Shoegaze pioneers Slowdive.
