Eighty Ninety Return With New Single, "Yourself"
Eighty Ninety—the indie-pop project of brothers Abner (vocals, production) and Harper (guitar, production) James—make a powerful return with their new single, "Yourself," out on all streaming platforms today.
Marking their first release since their self-titled debut album, "Yourself" is a pulse-pounding, emotionally charged track that captures the band’s signature blend of indie-pop energy and introspective lyricism. With its catchy sound and deeply relatable narrative, "Yourself" is set to strike a chord with listeners.
“'Yourself’ is about the quiet disconnect that can exist between two people, even when they’re physically close—and how easily things slip away when you’re not fully present and when you’re not giving yourself over to something,” Abner says. “We tried to capture those small, unnoticed moments that eventually add up, leaving you wondering what exactly you missed along the way until you realize what you missed wasn't 'something'- it was everything.”
Eighty Ninety fuse intimate storytelling, sticky melodies, and minimalist pop productions built on acoustic instruments and electronic sounds in a style they call "808s and telecasters"—a shorthand for both their music and their anything-goes mentality in the studio. The band first made waves in 2016 with their debut EP, Elizabeth, featuring the viral hit "Three Thirty." Since then, the New York-based duo have amassed over 35 million streams, earned acclaim from tastemakers like Alternative Press and Billboard, and secured sync placements on Netflix and MTV shows.
After the long-awaited release of their self-titled debut album in late 2023, "Yourself" is the perfect next step in Eighty Ninety's musical journey, showcasing their evolution as artists while staying true to the sound that has garnered them a loyal following.
