New York-by-way-of-Toronto artist Lockimara, also known as Nicholas Gay, has officially announced his sophomore album Only Sun, Only Moon, arriving July 24, 2026. Released via Play Dead, the project captures a period of upheaval, relocation, and emotional transformation. The lead single “December” showcases buzzing bass, driving drums, and a piano-led hook, while exploring heartbreak with rare honesty.
Gay describes the track as his most vulnerable yet, inspired by a difficult goodbye that pushed him toward candid songwriting. Across nine tracks, the album blends acoustic textures, glitchy electronics, and dance-forward production, creating a genre-defying sound.
Following his 2025 debut A Vision Again, Gay relocated to New York to study music production, further shaping his evolving artistry. Only Sun, Only Moon reflects duality, balancing fear and hope while merging intimate songwriting with expansive sonic experimentation. It stands as a bold, deeply personal statement of growth and resilience. Fans can expect a vivid listening experience that feels familiar and daring in its emotional scope and ambition.
