Following an explosive debut, Sikarus returns with a new single, “Aprikot,” out via Crow Records/Big Loud Rock. Sikarus also released the official video for the high-power song, directed by Harrison Shook. The song fuses raw, yearning lyricism with driving percussion to evoke the ache and urgency of a love worth fighting for.

 “'Aprikot' sounds to me like that very first bite out of love, when your brain is on dopamine overload and everything feels so good you think it couldn't possibly ever end,” shares Sikarus. “Luckily in this case, when it does, you can just play the song over again.”

 As one of the first acts signed to the newly launched Crow Records, founded by country rock superstar Hardy, Sikarus is quickly carving out a place in the alt-rock scene. Written by Sikarus and Ashley Brooker, “Aprikot” is just the beginning.

Fans can expect more new releases as Sikarus joins Hardy on select dates of the Jim Bob World Tour next month, playing arenas and amphitheaters across the U.S.—including New York's legendary Madison Square Garden—in August and September.

Sikarus is the solo project of Jordan Brooker, a longtime Nashville songwriter with cuts for Luke Combs and several others, making his artist debut. Raised on country, Brooker found his major inspirations when his older brothers turned him on to rock in his early adolescence, starting with classics like Led Zeppelin and Nirvana and falling deep into turn-of-the-millennium alt- and pop-rock and '90s rock titans in high school. Hardy and Brooker, friends and collaborators during their early years in Nashville, reconnected in recent months with Hardy, making Sikarus his first Crow Records artist almost immediately upon hearing demos.
