“I Don’t Wanna Stay” is the new single + final track from bobbie’s upcoming album, “Lessons.” It’s out March 6th on @orindalrecords . It comes with a music video by bobbie :)
I Don’t Wanna Stay” has evolved from earlier lo fi versions into a deep and haunting sonic space of looping harmonies, omnichord trills, wandering guitar riffs, and synth textures. Yearning is a reoccurring theme on “Lessons,” and “I Don’t Wanna Stay” has a particular saudade. The song is asking: am I ready for change? How do I hold big grief, disappointment, nostalgia?
“I Don’t Wanna Stay” was written by bobbie & produced by bobbie & Felix Walworth (of Florist & Told Slant). Engineering by Felix Walworth. Mastering by Josh Bonati.
Lessons is available for pre-order on Itd ed purple vinyl, classic black vinyl, cassette & digital formats.

Lessons is the new record from bobbie. It's out March 6 on Orindal Records. "Cloud Vision" is Lessons' leadoff track. It's streaming now. It comes with a music video by Membra.
bobbie lives in Western Massachusetts, where they alchemize dream pop ethereality, twinkly ambient abstraction and intimate vocal clarity into their unmistakable sound.
Distorted Omnichord autoharp looping, layers of drone-y synthesizers and low, reverberating guitar crack open into a wide sonic landscape. bobbie architects this atmosphere then introduces rhythm (often just Omnichord pre-set drum beats but also live drums from Lessons engineer, Felix Walworth of Florist and Told Slant) and then adds the lyrical presence. The songs are deeply layered and spatial but with a clear vocal throughline. There is harmony and dimensionality to this assemblage.
bobbie evokes the ambient qualities of Enya, Brian Eno and Cocteau Twins as well as the pop-y poetic vibes of Dear Nora and Frankie Cosmos. Influences range widely from artists such as Laraaji, Beach House, Arthur Russell, Bill Callahan, Beverly-Glenn Copeland, Alice Coltrane, Astrud Gilberto, to projects like Plantasia and to recurring dreams + visions. When they wake up in the morning, bobbie often records themself dictating and attempting to make meaning of the previous night’s dream. Much of their album’s imagery comes from this practice.
bobbie on Lessons:
Lessons is an artifact of love, curiosity and humility. This is one spec/snapshot into one spirit aka me being real.
bobbie on “Cloud Vision”
“Cloud Vision” evokes the ephemerality and mystery of art and love. There is a hopefulness for what’s becoming and humility as to knowing its origin.
Lessons is available for pre-order on ltd ed purple vinyl, classic black vinyl, cassette & digital formats. Album art by bobbie, design by Jess Jones. Mastering by Josh Bonati.
