Toronto-based band Jo Passed have shared "Ico", the lead single from their forthcoming second album Away, which is set for release next year.

The lead single, "Ico", was born out of the COVID-19 pandemic and is an account of the 15-year-old cat of the same name that Hirabayashi co-parented for five years. "The lockdown era of the still-present COVID pandemic is already a kind of retro-referenced universe, and everyone seemed to write their own songs from that time. This one is mine,” Hirabayashi says of the track. -LoBF
