Zach Bryan Releases Stark New Song 'Pocket Change' With Gritty Video

The stripped-back release underscores his push toward raw, self-recorded material.

Overview

  • Bryan unveiled Pocket Change on YouTube on Wednesday, delivering a sparse acoustic performance.
  • The song sketches a doomed couple scraping by in a town that never changes, told over an elegiac guitar figure.
  • Rolling Stone reports the track was left off his 25-song album With Heaven on Top, which arrived last week.
  • The performance video leans darker in tone and ends with Bryan taking a puff of a cigarette.
  • Bryan recently said he recorded solo acoustic versions of his latest album to preempt complaints about production and planned to issue them shortly after the studio release.
