In the last lap of 2025, People I Love shared “Overcast”, a wistful and luminescent track that followed the releases of “The Witch” and “Perfect” in the months prior. The singles were a smattering of introspective vignettes, each an achy reflection swaddled up in velvety, “lo-fi” (if you will) blanket. “Overcast” arrived with the assurance of an impending album announcement – a promise that has been delivered today; on May 1st, the Brooklyn-based project of Dan Poppa is set to share new record, Window to Another World. The album will serve as a skeleton for these ruminative tracks to live, and perhaps as a catalyst to magnify the weight of their individual contents. You can hear the latest single, “Treasure”, today. 

“Treasure” examines love through a transient lens. Mixed by Reed Black and featuring drum contributions from Avery Kaplan, it is textured and forlorn, though far less scorned than previously shared singles “The Witch” and “Perfect”. Like many People I Love songs, it veers from any sort of obvious emotional formula, yet it’s usually in these liminal and ambiguous soundscapes that the feelings within the song become most comprehensible. “Treasure” is simultaneously warm and dispirited, loaded with vivid sunset imagery and urges to “tell your favorite girl you love her” despite assertions that nothing lasts. It’s pretty and complex and saturated with longing, and it’s an exciting sliver of the poignant narratives we can expect to unfold throughout Window to Another World.
