J McClendon Releases Two Songs as You Are An Angel

Earlier this year, J McClendon released his first album, It's Fine To Dream, under the name You Are An Angel. McClendon has now released two songs left over from the sessions for that album. The new tracks are titled Candyglass and Baroque. According to McClendon, both songs were considered for inclusion on It's Fine To Dream but were cut relatively late in the process. He stated that he always loved the two tracks, but he felt they clashed tonally with the rest of the record. McClendon added that he is very happy to officially release them now.

Musically, the two new tracks mostly move away from the epic scope found in much of McClendon's work, leaning instead directly into an emo-pop style. However, the song Candyglass includes a grander section at its conclusion.

More music under the You Are An Angel name is currently on the way. McClendon stated that it has been nice for him to focus on making individual songs as good as possible. He also noted that he has been conducting genre experiments that did not come together on the same album, and he said that some of his favorite songs he has ever written will be coming soon.
