Keaton Henson has released new single "The Meeting Place" as the second preview of his upcoming seventh album House Party.

After announcing House Party with the lead single "Envy" last month, Henson has delivered a second taster of the record titled "The Meeting Place".

He says of the track, "I think the character singing has spent a lot of time feeling lost and alone, and having found the person he wants to be with, is just grabbing on for dear life."

House Party will follow Henson's 2020 album Monument, and his 2021 EP Fragments.

Henson tells Best Fit of the album, "I really wanted this record to feel incredibly lonely, like this is the sound of a lonely person. Like outside a party, when you’re on your own with the comparative quiet and how lonely that can feel with the distant sound of people… I always think of the sound, when it's so quiet that you can hear your cigarette burn."

"The Meeting Place" is out now. Keaton Henson's House Party album will arrive via Play It Again Sam on 9 June, and is available to pre-order now.
