Mykki Blanco is sending dispatches from their summer vacation with a new  EP called Postcards from Italia, arriving September 22nd via Transgressive. As a preview, they’ve shared the appropriately sunny single “Holidays in the Sun,” which you can listen to below.

Produced by FaltyDL, who also helmed last year’s Stay Close to Music, Blanco describes the six-track Postcards from Italia as the sound of their “Italian cowboy era.” In the case of their latest single, that means not acoustic guitar and steel pedal, but a slip-and-slide bass and a Eurodance beat. Still, the artist assumes a country drawl in the verses as they croon, “Took a pack of cigs and a couple of beers down to the levy/ I don’t gotta hurry, boy/ I don’t gotta worry/ It’s not that heavy.”

“‘Holidays in the Sun’ was created funnily enough in a basement in Portugal on Christmas Eve,” Blanco recalled in a statement. Produced by William Eaves of Somerset and co-written by ZamZam (who also provides additional vocals), the artist likens the track to “hitting every corner of the world from the beaches of Ibiza and Naples to warehouse parties in London and Berlin.”

Pre-orders for Postcards from Italia are ongoing. Once you’ve listened to Blanco’s new song, scroll on to see the EP’s artwork and tracklist.
