Jon Stancer is a singer-songwriter and musician, somewhere within the alt-rock-pop milieux. He conjures hooky and occasionally haunting melodies with lyrics – sometimes direct and other times cryptic – that evoke longing, desperation, fear, and hope.
Stancer’s new single, “This Cannot Wait (Until Tomorrow),” is a contemplative and anguished plea to act fast on climate change, set to a delicate and wistful waltz, ambiently awash in piano, upright bass, strings and horns. Produced by Dan Kurtz (Dragonette, theNEWDEAL), this is the first release from his forthcoming EP, In Light Of, expected in early 2022.
“This Cannot Wait (Until Tomorrow)” is reminiscent of the late period Talk Talk or Shearwater, most obviously in Stancer’s emotive vocals, but also in the overall stately grace and restraint in the arrangements. It takes its time before the song is enveloped in beautiful keyboard strings and wordless choir colours.
A stunning statement.
