If you’ve read David Arnold’s books before, you might know that he creates music with his band Cinema Cycle, to accompany them! If you didn’t know, you’re in for a real treat. His new book, The Strange Fascinations of Noah Hypnotik, is no exception, and we are here to reveal the first song off of his latest EP. Read a bit about The Strange Fascinations of Noah Hypnotik (coming May 22!) below, then listen to the amazing song.

About the book:

“An epic wonder”* from the bestselling author of Mosquitoland

This is Noah Oakman → sixteen, Bowie believer, concise historian, disillusioned swimmer, son, brother, friend.

Then Noah → gets hypnotized.

Now Noah → sees changes: his mother has a scar on her face that wasn’t there before; his old dog, who once walked with a limp, is suddenly lithe; his best friend, a lifelong DC Comics disciple, now rotates in the Marvel universe. Subtle behaviors, bits of history, plans for the future—everything in Noah’s world has been rewritten. Everything except his Strange Fascinations . . .

A stunning surrealist portrait, The Strange Fascinations of Noah Hypnotik is a story about all the ways we hurt our friends without knowing it, and all the ways they stick around to save us.

*Adam Silvera, bestselling author of More Happy Than Not and They Both Die at the End

And now for the song!
