Following 2023’s popular, Mercury Prize-nominated LP When Will We Land?, Edinburgh DJ and producer Joshua Mainnie’s new single, co-written with Jamie Livingstone, is a dark, menacing, spoken-word electronica number heralding his forthcoming second album Loner, out on 30 May on Ninja Tune.

Change
There is nothing permanent
Except change
You are an exceptional person
In some ways, you are better than everyone else
Imagine yourself as a type of person you have dreamed of becoming
You are on a journey towards great riches
The best way to be liked is to be funny, make sure to be funny
Try not to laugh too hard at anyone else's jokes
Someone has been secretly loving you from a distance
What? Who?
Don't look into someone's eyes if you love them for too long
They will see you as you are
You miss something, you miss something you cannot name or touch
It feels like you have lost a limb and no one can tell it has been amputated
You try to stop panicking but you fell down a flight of stairs
You watched a small child let go of their balloon and begin to cry
Can you sit down with me for a moment please?
Can you hold my hand? I am frightened
I am lonely amongst these boxes and cables
Is it, is it a ribbon?
Can I dance?
Can I dance please?
