Ahead of the release his new album, Split Second, arriving September 25th via Mom + Pop (Tycho, Magdalena Bay), Renny Conti shares new single “San Francisco, 2005.” The track was written in the months after his brother’s passing, in which the Bay Area native experienced a breakup, left NYC and returned home for a spell. The song situates a journal entry flitting through disparate years and far-flung locations in a panged, earworm vocal hook delivered above a hazy bed of acoustic and electric guitars tangling together, as if mirroring his mind cutting through the noise to make sense of the aftermath.

Within a month, Renny Conti experienced a major breakup and lost a family member and abandoned his apartment in New York, seeking a fresh start. Life’s winding path soon brought him back east, but without a place to live. An unmoored, searching chapter unfolded, Renny couch-surfing and subletting his way through 2024 before life began to settle back down in 2025. Then he began writing again. Across 2025, songs poured out, partially documenting the tumultuous years that had preceded, partially making sense of what came after. The new songs culminated in Renny’s new album Split Second, a heartfelt and conversational document of the most severe highs and lows life can dole out. “I had a moment of clarity on a pier that things change,” he explains of the album title. “Our surroundings change, our relationships change, our habits change, and they all change very suddenly at that.”
