“‘Skyman’ offers some peaceful perspective in a hectic world and invites us to coast in the clouds together for a bit!’”– Seth Avett, the Avett Brothers

SOUNDING ARROW is the indie solo project of veteran recording artist and touring musician Scott Kinnebrew (Truth and Salvage Co). Since this past September, the Asheville, NC-based artist has been steadily building anticipation for this Friday’s release of his second album SKYMAN by rolling out four visually striking videos. Today (April 8), SOUNDING ARROW has shared a new montage of the album’s first four videos—”Skyman,” “Zero Gravity,” “Lucky Shaman,” and “Why You Frontin?”—that seamlessly highlight the album’s airy sonics and Kinnebrew’s lightness-of-being musings. Watch the montage HERE.

As the SKYMAN album (via Blackbird Record Label/Indie AM Gold) illustrates, the singer, songwriter, and guitarist’s finely etched songs are a welcome musical balm that’s custom made for rocky times. It was co-produced with Kinnebrew by Gary Jules (“Mad World”) and mixed by Bill Reynolds (Band of Horses, The Avett Brothers’ Emotionalism). It weaves a vivid sonic landscape rich with the textures of rock, folk, country, blues, British invasion, R&B, and pop. It’s a brew that resists classification, as it lands somewhere between tradition and invention—what Kinnebrew thinks of as “sonic impressionism.” Read the critical praise below.

SKYMAN follows SOUNDING ARROW 2017 debut album LOVING IS BREATHING. This past September (2025), SKYMAN’s warm and radiant title track—both heady and light as a feather, a perfect tonic for these times—was unveiled as the first single/video. Watch the video for “Skyman”—directed by Doug Frerichs and filmed in Kinnebrew’s adopted hometown of Asheville, North Carolina—HERE.

“Skyman” was followed in January by the uplifting “Zero Gravity” single. The video was also directed by Doug Frerichs and filmed around various Southern California locations including the San Fernando Valley, 6th and Broadway in DTLA, Frogtown, and Calabasas. It ends with scenes of Kinnebrew up in space floating above civilization below and illuminating the song’s lyrics about escaping from an increasingly heavy world. Listen to the track HERE and watch the video HERE. Read the press release HERE

Next, in February, Kinnebrew released “Lucky Shaman.” The track’s freewheeling musical brew comprising indie, blues, psychedelia, garage rock, and even ‘60s AM pop is matched with lyrics inspired by the time that Kinnebrew lived for four months in the Ecuadorian Amazon and his experience at a plant medicine ceremony (ayahuasca) there. Watch the colorful animated video HERE.

“Why You Frontin?”—a melodically rich song that combines folky stylings, jangly guitars, and Kinnebrew’s—arrived this past March. In the video, Kinnebrew is seen performing the song on his porch in Asheville, NC, interspersed with old/original Super 8 family footage shot by his grandfather (John Davison). View the video HERE.

Here’s critical praise about SKYMAN:

“The psychedelic journey of a single [‘Zero Gravity’] is accompanied by a video directed by Doug Frerichs that depicts the otherworldly atmosphere created by the musician’s soaring vocals and spacious instrumentation. The weightlessness of the vocals, the way their melodies cascade around jangly tones…Kinnebrew’s veteran songwriting style unfurls into an immersive storytelling tune that should have everyone running to hear the rest of SKYMAN this April.” –Glide Magazine, 1/14/26

“Musically, [the track] ‘Zero Gravity’ is a shimmering, cosmic song with lush layers and Kinnebrew’s echoing vocal floating above into the heavens alongside languorous drifts of guitar.” –Americana UK, 1/30/26

“There’s a loose, joyful danger to ‘Lucky Shaman,’ the new single from Scott Kinnebrew’s solo project Sounding Arrow. It’s the sound of an artist trusting the groove, letting humor, history, and hard-earned wisdom all ride shotgun. Best known for his work with Truth & Salvage Co., Kinnebrew has long thrived in the spaces between genres. With ‘Lucky Shaman,’ he leans fully into that instinct, blending indie rock, psychedelia, garage rock, bluesy jam energy, and flashes of ’60s AM pop into a track that feels playful on the surface while carrying deeper currents underneath.” –Grateful Web, 2/11/26

“Skyman is the proper follow-up to Sounding Arrow’s 2017 debut album, Loving is Breathing. Kinnebrew is a big believer in using his privilege of being an artist in a fresh, positive sense. In a time when it’s easy to be down on everything, Kinnebrew is trying to lift you up. He has been a songwriter for three decades now. He believes in using it as a spotlight for change and growth. Skyman was co-produced along with the great Gary Jules, a fantastic, globally renowned musician who requires no introduction. Jules helped bring out the best in Kinnebrew, helping enable him to record a sonically diverse record that can’t be neatly fit into any one box. It weaves together rich textures of rock, folk, country, blues, R&B, and pop. It’s not intended to be flashy, but it is effective and efficient, resonating with listeners on a deep emotional level. Kinnebrew is a visionary songwriter, one who should be lauded for his ability to write and record music that can uplift you with the power of his voice and his spirit.” –v13, 3/10/26

“..both the music and message [of ‘Skyman’] feel intimate, layered, and expansive. The song captures his radiant sound that is bright, infectious, and brimming with shimmering harmonies.” –Glide Magazine, 9/23/25
