Double Clown

Double Clown is about a bodhisattva who returns to their community from having experienced nirvana. The clown costume in the song is a metaphor for the identity this person resumed after truly experiencing non-duality. It's really just a rag-time or folk ballad dressed up in grunge clothing.

Mohaynow's suburban country grunge single Double Clown will obliterate your speakers. The lyrics process the dualities of existence and perception. This studio arrangement contains fuzzed out guitar with a subdued rag-time piano. This melting crunchy psychedelia has us scouring our music libraries for greasy jalapeño nachos. Don’t you worry, Mohaynow has the broiler on, and they’re bringing the extra sharp cheddar. This cow-punchy, punk ode depicts a bodhisattva who enjoys rodeos, vintage stores, garage sales, and circuses that just can’t seem to stay out of the drizzling rain.

This psychedelic visual depiction was directed by Dylan Kellam.
