Michigander

Nashville-based Michigander, the sonic alter ego of Michigan native Jason Singer, has released "Superglue" the opening track of his forthcoming EP, It Will Never Be The Same, due out March 31st via C3 Records. 

"'Superglue' is about second-guessing yourself, which is something I’ve done often,” said Singer. "But I think I’m ok with being a little nervous all the time. I think a little bit of skepticism is ok, maybe even good. I’m really excited to play this one live. This was a song that was made with the intent of playing for rooms of people. It’s very congregational. That said, I’m feeling so much better now and can’t wait to be back at it, playing music on the road with my best friends. We started rehearsing for the upcoming tour recently and I truly believe we’ve never sounded better." 

On the singalong hook of "Superglue," Singer wonders, "Should I give up on this thing that I’ve been chasing?" The music video, directed by Johnny Chew (Nick Jonas, Dayglow), documents the brutal leg break Singer suffered while filming the music video back in the fall, ultimately delaying the release of the EP and his headlining tour. It Will Never Be The Same marks the fourth EP from Michigander and also features his last single "Stay Out Of It."

Of the music video, Singer adds, "Obviously, this video turned into something else completely different than what we had originally planned, which is actually how a lot of things go. But while it may not have been the original vision, I think Johnny Chew, my team, and I really were able to turn it into something very cool, plus we have something that documented this whole experience and time in my career." 

The EP, It Will Never Be The Same, was produced and mixed by Tony Hoffer (Beck, Phoenix, M83), mastered by Dave Cooley (Spoon, Jimmy Eat World, Paramore), and recorded at L.A.’s Sunset Sound. Andy Hull and Robert McDowell of Manchester Orchestra produced the song "In My Head." The now Nashville-based singer, songwriter, producer, and guitarist worked with co-writers for the first time in the studio such as Shawn McConnell (Tim McGraw, Little Big Town, Brad Paisley), Danen Reed Rector (Charlotte Sands, James Droll), and Chris Carrabba (Dashboard Confessional). 

Michigander’s previous EPs include: Midland (2018); Where Do We Go From Here (2019) and Everything Will Be Ok Eventually (2021).

To support the new release, Michigander has 21-date Spring Headline Tour from March 28th in Phoenix through April 29th in Nashville. Find the tour dates here!
