The Temper Trap’s Jonny Aherne has released the second single from his new solo project Shacks & Palaces on Liberation Records. The timely tune — ‘Alone Together’ — comes accompanied with an eccentric music video shot during quarantine with Brooklyn artists Amanda and Steve Carmona.“We were all needing to do something creative. There were a ton of moving pieces and a lot of thought required to navigate them, but Amanda and Steve managed to make it work with just the three of us in the room. I love what they made,” Jonny says of the experience.
The upbeat track was premiered by Consequence of Sound, with Jonny telling them:
“I wrote this song before COVID-19 hit, but now the title ‘Alone Together’ belongs to everyone… It’s about the distance we find in the company of even our loved ones.” Writing the song was both challenging and cathartic for Jonny, who considers its subject matter rather vulnerable. He says, “I suppose I was allowing my shadow self to appear, display faults, foregoing the made-up appearance.”
