Jon Mckiel’s Gold Horatio and Rosemary

The upcoming project, Gold Horatio, marks a return to the recording cycle for Mckiel. Stereogum reports that the artist is utilizing a sample-based approach for the new material, a technique that has defined much of his recent sonic identity.

The lead single, Rosemary, serves as the first public preview of the album’s direction. Mckiel is continuing his trajectory as a New Brunswick-based creator, blending songwriting with specific sampling methods to build his compositions.

Production Cycle Following Hex

This September release follows Mckiel’s 2024 album, Hex. The short interval between Hex and Gold Horatio suggests a prolific period for the singer-songwriter.

Mckiel’s work typically centers on the intersection of songwriting and electronic manipulation. By looping back into the public eye with Gold Horatio, he maintains the momentum established during the 2024 release cycle of Hex.
