The song 'It's OK' was inspired by a series of difficult events that occurred during the year after Jon completed his tour on BBDLP1, the last Big Black Delta record. This included losing his father to a stroke, finding that all of his gear was stolen, and losing one of his best friends to cancer. Since going public with some of this news, Bates has been inundated with incredible kindness and thoughtful support from friends, musicians, fans and strangers alike. This song is a thank you. A gesture of gratitude to everyone who has been kind — and to the universe itself.

It's Ok

Hi.
So excited to finally share a song I did with a hero of mine, the one and only Debbie Gibson. I reached out to her and she was cool enough to give it a go. Its about two lovers whose time together had ended. That and some Paganini. This one was ultimate fun. Its called RCVR.
I'm playing a one-off special show at Teragram Ballroom on November 5th in Los Angeles.  Tickets available here:  http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/09004F1807EE6D8A

RCVR (feat. Debbie Gibson)

Kid Icarus

Steer The Canyon

Minor key synths cascade over a marching bassline, shadowed by an illuminated duet between Bates and Kimbra. It’s gospel in vocoder, a call and response as soulful as it is mechanic, as warm as it is unnerving.

When asked about the song Jonathan said: “Its helplessly returning to a vice (whether it be a person or substance) that you know for a fact will destroy you. A shuffle over a march. Kimbras character and mine having a verbal back and forth over gluttony.”

The track is taken from new album Trágame Tierra, set for release on April 22nd. With Trágame Tierra - his sophomore album under the moniker – Jonathan Bates has created a multi-layered collection of songs that continue to build on Big Black Delta’s already explosive electronics by adding more icy Scandinavian-leaning beats, near-country acoustic warmth, and more live instrumentation. The record also features “RCVR,” a masterful collaboration between Bates and Debbie Gibson as well as many other guests.

Bates, who is occasionally found playing guitar and singing with the likes of Brandon Flowers, Brian Wilson, Britt Daniel, Dhani Harrison and more, will be embarking on an extensive U.S. tour in support of the release – which kicks off on April 25th in Las Vegas and features stops in NYC, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Seattle, D.C and his hometown of Los Angeles. 

 Trágame Tierra was funded via PledgeMusic. Leading up to the release, those who order at PledgeMusic will receive an ‘access pass’ to all kinds of exclusive merchandise and updates, including videos, pictures, and clips of new music.

"Getting things off to a glorious start with heavyweight guitars and lush hooks, "Lord Only Knows" is a mission statement set to major-keyed avant-pop music. According to Bates, "It starts like Whitesnake and ends like Liberace," reflecting a renewed interest in heavy-metal (see also: some breakthrough sessions with Dhani Harrison.) “Through therapy and proper medication, I’d hit a new place as a conscious being. Being of service was this warm, bright light that I wanted to be near. This song is that to me. When I close my eyes I see the shape, colors and probability waveform of where I’m trying to go. If that makes sense.”
