British-American songwriter Jenny Hirons, the creative force behind the project Hirons, has shared her hypnotic new single “The Rabbit Hole”, the second glimpse into her forthcoming debut EP Future Perfect, out November 7th via Western Vinyl. Following September’s lead track “Being The Cause”—a sharp meditation on capitalist superstructures—this new single spirals into something softer, stranger, and dreamier, like slipping through a secret doorway into another dimension.
Built from a vivid summer dream, “The Rabbit Hole” finds Hirons melding surreal imagery with her muted pop palette, singing:
“The speed won’t stop you falling down a rabbit hole / All light goes / The car forgets you, summer’s fading fast / Hide in the hedges, the animals laugh.”
The song’s visualizer expands that dream: pastoral and mystical, it’s as if the subconscious is painting landscapes while we listen. Watch the Visualizer for “The Rabbit Hole”.
Hirons recalls the inspiration:
“I’m a child once again and riding in the back of a car. I notice a hole in the roadside that beckons me to enter. I escape from the car like condensation and enter a glistening, pastel world… Dolphins travel up warm turquoise streams that crosshatch rolling hills. The fruit-bearing trees twist gently in bonsai proportions, and I rest in shaded thickets of moss. Suddenly, I become aware of the car and realize that I have long been abandoned.”
Her debut EP Future Perfect blends subtle pop textures and layered atmospheres with influences ranging from Ryuichi Sakamoto and Haruomi Hosono to Bowie, Eno, Elliot Smith, Deerhoof, and Rachmaninoff. Across its five tracks, Hirons paints a prism of time—childhood, adulthood, and imagined futures—while weaving in themes of loss, aspiration, and resilience. It’s at once a breakup EP, an unemployment EP, and an uncertain future EP, yet its tone remains hopeful and fiercely original.
A multidisciplinary artist and designer as well as a songwriter, Hirons treats Future Perfect as both sonic and visual world-building. Listeners can expect lush soundscapes, muted grooves, and lyrics that blur the line between waking life and lucid dreams.
