Last yr, Chris Farren, a good-looking and distinguished gentleman of the pop-punk persuasion, surprise-released his album Death Don’t Wait (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), an instrumental rating to a spy thriller that doesn’t exist. Today, Farren has introduced plans to observe that document with one which appears barely much less unhinged. Farren recorded his forthcoming LP Doom Singer with producer Melina Duterte, higher often called Jay Som, who additionally engineered and blended the album. Today, he has set first single “Cosmic Leash” unfastened upon an unsuspecting world.
“Cosmic Leash” is an enormous, triumphant rocker with an especially catchy refrain. It’s slightly slower and extra deliberate than numerous what Farren has made prior to now, and it’s bought some actual reach-for-the-heavens melody working for it. The track additionally has an especially humorous video from director Clay Tatum, constructed across the revelation of Farren’s new drummer Frankie Impastato. (Farren’s outdated buddy and Antarctigo Vespucci bandmate Jeff Rosenstock additionally performs occasional guitar and saxophone on the album.)
In a press launch, Farren says, “‘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.” He’s proper! It does! It’s actually good! Below, take a look at the “Cosmic Leash” video, the Doom Singer tracklist, and Farren’s upcoming tour dates.
