Chris Farren will release his new album, Doom Singer, on August 4th via Polyvinyl. You can check out the video for the new single, "Cosmic Leash," below:
Farren comments on the track:
'Cosmic Leash’ is about fighting the urge to romanticize the past but inevitably succumbing to the sentimental rot of nostalgia. Also, the song kicks ass.
After what Farren describes writing his previous albums as a "lonely, doubt-ridden process," he decided to recruit the help of Producer/Engineer, Melina Duterte (aka Jay Som), Frankie Impastato on drums, and Jeff Rosenstock on Bass and Saxophone which "breathes new life into Farren’s songs." US and UK audiences can catch Farren this Summer. Dates below:
