“It’s what I want to say to everyone. I want to take all of your pain away and give you back everything that’s yours. I want you to be the happy person that you were meant to be, without any darkness or suffering. I would do it all in a heartbeat. This song is my love letter to the whole world.”

San Francisco Bay Area musician Jonathan Hom introduces his new musical endeavor, Mystery Choir, with the release of their captivating debut music video. Titled "Seeing Colors," the single embodies a hauntingly beautiful composition that invites listeners on a journey of introspection and empathy.

Mystery Choir serves as a liberating outlet for Hom to collaborate with others under a different name, allowing him to embrace a transformative artistic expression. "This project provides a sense of freedom, enabling me to set aside preconceived notions of who I am and evolve into something greater," he explains.

Although written several years ago during his time in Portland, Hom breathed new life into "Seeing Colors" with a proper recording, allowing its essence to resurface and resonate with audiences.

In Hom's abstraction of the lyrics, a poignant sentiment emerges—one of a person grappling to comprehend the world, questioning the existence of pain, and yearning to heal and forge connections amidst the turmoil. The composition carries a wounded idealism, permeating Hom's approach to interacting with the world.

The release of "Seeing Colors" sets the stage for Mystery Choir's upcoming re-release of their album, Love Songs & Hallucinations in collaboration with NYC-based DIY camp Toadstool Records. This eagerly anticipated deluxe version features additional B-Sides and marks Hom's first professional studio record, poised to reach a wider audience. Toadstool Records has invested considerable effort into the packaging, ensuring each cassette tape is a uniquely special experience.

Accompanying the re-release, Mystery Choir will unveil a music video for the energetically captivating single "Reveillark," offering viewers a glimpse into a highly-caffeinated and cabin-feverish realm.
