It’s been about a year to the day since Detroit trio Bonny Doon released their most recent album Let There Be Music, and since then, its members have endured quite a bit in their personal lives: Vocalist/guitarist Bill Lennox suddenly lost his father in a car accident, drummer Jake Kmiecik underwent a major surgery, and vocalist/guitarist Bobby Colombo moved back home after a stint in New York. Now that all three members are back in Detroit for the first time in a while, Bonny Doon are back with their first new single of the year, “Clock Keeps Ticking.”

“Clock Keeps Ticking” is a pretty straightforward dose of breezy, twangy power-pop, with some nice guitar shreddage sprinkled in. It’s about all the things Lennox wants to do — dance, cry, find love, write a massive discography — but time just won’t slow down. It also features which frequent Kevin Morby collaborator Sam Cohen on guitar and keys. Here’s what Lennox had to say about the track in a press release:

Clock keeps ticking, I don’t know, it’s as simple as that. We’ve been through a lot the past few years and it seems like there’s barely time to process it. But you keep going and a lot keeps happening and yet there’s all these things you may never get to. So it’s celebration, it’s grief, and it’s holding on to dreams all living together.
