Graham Jonson, the mastermind behind quickly, quickly, has made a name for himself with his hazy, hip-hop-infused soundscapes, but his artistic evolution knows no bounds. The Portland-based artist has steadily expanded his sonic palette, weaving jazzy dream pop with inventive electronic flourishes. Now, he’s taking things a step further with his newly announced album, ‘I Heard That Noise,’ set to drop April 18, 2025, via Ghostly International. Promising to be his most rhythmically charged, emotionally raw, and sonically daring release yet, the album showcases Jonson’s fearless drive to stay ahead of the curve.
Leading the charge is the new single “Enything,” an upbeat yet melancholic track that pulsates with raw intensity. Biting electric guitars intertwine with a thumping groove, building tension before unraveling into a delicate acoustic outro. Jonson’s poignant lyrics, “I’ll wear your clothes, be a model for your photos / Baby / Anything for you,” glide effortlessly over the track, with Julia Logue’s syrupy guest vocals swirling in the background like honey. It’s a captivating taste of the emotional catharsis that permeates ‘I Heard That Noise,’ which will be available in a limited-edition mint green vinyl and cassette version for collectors.
Jonson describes “Enything” as an exploration of “dumb love”—a fictionalized take on infatuation so deep it leads to self-reinvention, even for someone barely known. “There is a place you can find yourself in where you would do anything to impress them, even to a fault,” he explains, capturing the bittersweet essence of longing and identity.
The accompanying music video brings the song’s eerie yet playful energy to life. Jonson stumbled upon a “horrifying rabbit mask” at a Portland thrift store, which sat ominously in his living room for years. Its unsettling presence finally found a purpose—his girlfriend donned the mask in one of Jonson’s favorite abandoned spots in PDX, with the entire video filmed on an old-school Panasonic handy cam. The result? A lo-fi, surreal visual that perfectly complements the track’s emotional weight and nostalgic undertones. “Pure synchronicity,” Jonson remarks.
With ‘I Heard That Noise,’ quickly, quickly proves once again that he’s not just an artist riding a wave—he’s creating his own, effortlessly blending intricate beats, lush melodies, and a profound emotional core. Fans should mark their calendars for April 18 and brace themselves for an album that promises to push boundaries while staying deeply relatable.
