McMahon released “Paper Rain” as his most recent music video last fall, but he also gave a dreamy spin to a Kacey Musgraves track, “Slow Burn,” in June. Check it out here.

AWOLNATION released their latest, Here Come the Runts, in Feb. 2018 with lead singles “Passion” and “Handyman.” They introduced fans to their next era with the release of “The Best” off their forthcoming fourth full-length.

“I’m always on the journey to improving myself, but all along, knowing it’s close to impossible to really be the best at anything,” AWOLNATION frontman Aaron Bruno says. “And what does it mean to be the best? And does that really matter? Or maybe it is more about the journey and acceptance of comfort within one’s own existence”
