PRE-ORDER: Excuse Me [Black]

Ayron Jones returns with Excuse Me, out Feb 26 2027, his first album in three years and the first made entirely on his own terms. Loud, visceral, assertive, Jones' latest LP affirms his place as one of rock music's brightest and most radical stars. Recorded in Nashville with producer Marty Fredrickson, Excuse Me is less a comeback than a reclamation. Ayron trades the polished commercial rock of his previous work for the heavier grunge and metal DNA of his Seattle upbringing: drop-tuned guitars, melancholy melodies and songs about economic pressure, anger, isolation and relationships. Introspective, timely lyrics pair well with Jones' formidable and highly-praised guitar playing, which pays tribute to his hometown's heroes. Drawing a line between the alienation that fueled grunge and today's increasingly disconnected world, it's a gritty rock record for everyday people and the first album on which Ayron says he fully recognizes himself.
