Very honoured to present Pat Cruz’s magical watercolour + digital animation alongside my new single “Bitter Part of The Fruit.” Track produced by Sandro Perri, recorded late 2019 in Scott Merritt’s Guelph studio, and featuring trumpet playing by Ryan Brouwer.

Yates on writing "Bitter Part":
This song was written in one sitting, which is unusual for me; I tend to be a tinkerer.
