I really, really did not want to buy another single this year... and then Erra dropped Pale Iris. Unlike seemingly every other human being, I do not adore every second off of 2021's s/t record (which is a banger indeed, don't get me wrong), but this song easily stands on par with its strongest cuts for me. Both Jesse's and JT's vocals are nothing short of remarkable, the verses have more teeth than a white shark and the chorus is simply out-of-this-world-beautiful. Return to the dirt.
