A first single in \u201cThis Is A Warning\u201d is available now below. A press release went on describe this new record as being the first rock album Matranga has created in more than 20 years.<\/p>\n<p>As there\u2019s a bit of backstory to digest with this upcoming new record, I\u2019ll let that press release do the talking from here on:<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Long before RAINBOWMACHINE was an album, it was a collection of recurring visitors.<\/p>\n<p>A chorus that wouldn\u2019t leave. A melody that kept finding its way back. Songs that seemed perfectly content to wait until the right room appeared around them.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, the room did.<\/p>\n<p>onelinedrawing is thrilled to announce RAINBOWMACHINE, which arrives September 18 via Iodine Recordings. Built from songs written across different eras of Jonah Matranga\u2018s life, the record gathers together ideas that lingered for years, melodies that refused to disappear, and collaborations that only made sense once they were already happening. Pre-order the album <a href=\"https:\/\/lnk.to\/rainbowmachine\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Today, onelinedrawing shares the video for the first single \u201cThis Is A Warning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Matranga, known for his work in Far, New End Original, Gratitude, Camorra, and the ever-evolving world of onelinedrawing, many of these songs have been around for a long time. Not unfinished. Not forgotten. Just somewhere else \u2014 waiting.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the chorus melody at the center of the title track had been living in his head for nearly 30 years before finally finding a home. It didn\u2019t change much over that time. It simply stayed there until it finally had somewhere to go.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas \u201cThis Is A Warning\u201d arrived years ago and felt complete almost immediately, except for one thing: Matranga knew he wasn\u2019t going to record it until the band he heard in his head became real.<\/p>\n<p>That band came together slowly but surely.<\/p>\n<p>Rainbowmachine brings together Matranga, bassist Marcos Nava, drummer Paul DeBenedictis, vocalist Nico Magone, and additional contributions from Denver Dalley, Rod Castro, and Jason Kupfer. Some had never met when the process began. Some recorded parts hundreds of miles apart. Again and again, ideas seemed to arrive exactly where they belonged.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany of the songs on this album waited for a long time,\u201d says Matranga. \u201cI didn\u2019t quite know what to do with some of them. I just knew I kept thinking about them. I\u2019d come to accept that the way I heard them in my head wasn\u2019t going to be possible without letting other people in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Across 10 songs, Rainbowmachine moves between anxious haze, towering guitars, bubbling synths, and moments of startling intimacy. The album balances vulnerability, melody, texture, and collaboration without ever losing the human voice at its center.<\/p>\n<p>Produced, recorded, and mixed by Jay Maas (Title Fight, Drug Church, Piebald) and mastered by Dave McNair (Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Patti Smith), RAINBOWMACHINE marks the first rock record from Jonah Matranga in more than 20 years and one of the most collaborative releases of his career.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. touring and festival appearances in support of the album are planned for 2026 and will be announced soon.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRAINBOWMACHINE\u201d track listing:<\/p>\n<p>01 \u2013 \u201cThis Is A Warning\u201c<br \/>02 \u2013 \u201cEye Have No Idea\u201c<br \/>03 \u2013 \u201cEighties El Camino\u201c<br \/>04 \u2013 \u201cFailures Virgin\u201c<br \/>05 \u2013 \u201cInbetweener\u201c<br \/>06 \u2013 \u201cDay One Eighty Three\u201c<br \/>07 \u2013 \u201cOn Watering The Planets\u201c<br \/>08 \u2013 \u201cRainbowmachine\u201c<br \/>09 \u2013 \u201cThe Water In The Summer\u201c<br \/>10 \u2013 \u201cThe Plane To Mars\u201c<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"onelinedrawing, the long-running musical outlet of Jonah Matranga of Far, etc. fame, will be releasing a new album&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":713135,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[88,307451,216,307452],"class_list":["post-713134","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-jonah-matranga","tag-music","tag-onelinedrawing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713134","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=713134"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713134\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/713135"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=713134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=713134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=713134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
