The new Toner song "Cleo" is out now with a video by Mikey Guzman, Daniel Vazquez. The above image is the single art. It's a grungy power-pop tune under a shimmering haze, with lyrics about interpersonal frustration: "Gunned down before I get a single word in/ Closed off and you don't wanna hear about it/ I take a spin around the block, write it off/ While you still remain the same, a burdened shame."
