Bonny Light Horseman–the acclaimed trio of Anaïs Mitchell, Eric D. Johnson, and Josh Kaufman–today announced their third full-length and Jagjaguwar debut, the double album Keep Me on Your Mind/See You Free, will be released on June 7th, 2024. They’ve also shared the lead single “I Know You Know” alongside their first-ever music video which can be seen/heard below.. Anchored by Mitchell and Johnson’s always-entrancing harmonies, the song demonstrates the band’s keen ability to lace emotional devastation with a pop sensibility as its feel-good, breezy arrangement and anthemic chorus belie its wrecking refrain.
“When thinking about directors for Bonny Light Horseman’s first (!!!) ever music video, Kimberly Stuckwisch leapt to mind immediately. I’d been a longtime fan of her always-evocative work–and for our band I felt like she’d ‘get it,’” explains Johnson. “The treatment she came back with was deeply aligned with the sentiments of the song: life’s multiverse, the dualities of joy and pain, the choices we make that chart our course towards one way or another. We shot this on a salt flat in the Mojave desert, trying to outrun the sunset and packs of salty coyotes, under the watch of some wayward desert pelicans.”
“ Keep Me on Your Mind/See You Free–produced by Kaufman and mixed by D. James Goodwin–is now available for pre-order. The band will embark on a headlining U.S. tour this June that includes an already sold out show at Boston’s The Sinclair as well as two nights at NYC’s Music Hall of Williamsburg. Bonny Light Horseman will also perform at summer festivals Bonnaroo Music & Arts, Winnipeg Folk, Red Wing Roots, and more. A current itinerary is listed below.
