Krill<\/a>, the formerly Boston-based trio making slightly askew indie rock, have reunited in Chicago with an updated lineup and are working on new music. The band\u2014singer-bassist Jonah Furman, drummer Ian Becker, and new guitarist Andrew Clinkman\u2014shared \u201cCommemorative Plaque,\u201d its first new song in a decade. Joining the trio on the single are Finom<\/a> violinist Macie Stewart, Tredici Bacci,<\/a> and Trigger saxophonist Will Greene. Give it a listen below.<\/p>\n In a statement on Instagram<\/a>, Krill described \u201cCommemorative Plaque\u201d as an ode to Aretha Franklin\u2019s 1970 hit \u201cCall Me,\u201d a staple of Furman\u2019s childhood. \u201cIt\u2019s maybe a companion song to \u2018Oppressor,\u2019 another song about coming home,\u201d he wrote. \u201cIt\u2019s about moving back to Chicago after many years away, thinking home would be too sad and sentimental from adolescence (\u2018all the teenage wanting and distance\u2019) but finding something sweeter there, and home as a place and a person and an inside joke. It\u2019s nostalgic and homesick, and Andrew\u2019s guitar solo fucking rips, alongside Will Greene\u2019s saxophone and Macie Stewart\u2019s violin. Hope you enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n Formed in 2010, Krill released three albums over the course of their original five-year run. The trio broke up soon after relocating to New York City, but capped that period with 2016\u2019s self-titled swan song EP. In 2020, Furman, Becker, original Krill guitarist Aaron Ratoff, and Joe DeManuelle-Hall formed Knot<\/a> and recorded a self-titled LP<\/a>, which has retroactively been renamed a Krill record across digital platforms. In 2022, Krill reissued<\/a> their debut album, Alam No Hris<\/em><\/a>, for its 10th anniversary.<\/p>\n Read Laura Snapes\u2019 review of Krill\u2019s single \u201cPurity of Heart<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
