proun’s “Coloring Pages” Draws Its Lines from a Coming Out Story

proun has returned with “Coloring Pages,” a second preview of their debut album Maybe Luck. The track follows last month’s lead single “Miracles” and carries a more specific emotional weight.

Band leader Jamie Weed described the song as one of the most collaborative moments on the record. It began with an instrumental demo from bassist Dante Zatto that mapped out the drum, bass, and guitar parts, pushing the band toward a more angular, tightly wound interplay. Weed took that framework and wrote about coming out as trans to his mother. He recalled “word vomit surrounded by memories of being a young child free from a gendered existence.”

The result is a piece of emo-folk where mumbly vocals and twinkling riffs build tension before a cathartic guitar solo unspools. The arrangement feels genuinely conversational, the instruments circling each other with purpose. Rather than grand gestures, the song finds its power in small, sharp details and the push-pull between confession and restraint.

Maybe Luck arrives June 26 via Good English.
