NYC-based multi-instrumentalist Keith Carne (of We Are Scientists) has released new single “37 Hours“. It is taken from his upcoming debut solo album Magenta Light, releasing independently on April 20, 2026. The track had been around for about seven years after an epiphany he had during insomnia.

He explains that the song is…

… largely about the intangible elements that shape our lives, and the spiritual forces that swirl around us. It’s best to make peace with them.

I wrote the lyrics in a state of blissful lucidity. After being awake for 37-hours, I suddenly saw all these elements in the world that affect our daily lives so clearly, ones we so infrequently pay attention to. Elements like smoke and leaves seem to compose the background in our everyday world — on this day became the foreground. Whether tangible or intangible, we don’t give them the regard they so deserve.

Magenta Light is a genre-blending body of work that an evolution for the longtime drummer and backing vocalist of We Are Scientists. Stepping into the foreground as songwriter, Producer, and multi-instrumentalist, Carne brings together Pop songwriting with atmospheric passages.

To celebrate the release, Carne will perform a special album release show on May 2 at Brooklyn’s Union Pool (484 Union Ave, at Meeker Ave., New York, NY 11211), bringing Magenta Light to life in an intimate setting.
