## Summary

Krill, the indie rock trio formerly based in Boston, have reunited in Chicago with an updated lineup and released "Commemorative Plaque," their first new song in a decade. The band now comprises singer-bassist Jonah Furman, drummer Ian Becker and new guitarist Andrew Clinkman, joined on the track by violinist Macie Stewart and saxophonist Will Greene. The release marks a notable comeback for a group that disbanded years ago, and signals renewed activity with the prospect of further new material to follow.

Furman described the song as an ode to Aretha Franklin's 1970 hit "Call Me" and as a reflection on moving back to Chicago after years away, calling it a companion piece to their earlier song "Oppressor". Formed in 2010, Krill released three albums during their original five-year run before splitting up after relocating to New York, closing that chapter with a self-titled EP in 2016. Furman and Becker went on to form a related project, Knot, with fellow original member Aaron Ratoff and Joe DeManuelle-Hall in 2020, whose self-titled LP has since been retroactively recognised as a Krill record; in 2022 the band also reissued their debut album, Alam No Hris, for its tenth anniversary.
