Declan McKenna postpones second album release until August due to COVID-19

McKenna was expected to release his sophomore LP Zeros in May, and has so far shared one single from the record - "Beautiful Faces".

On socials this afternoon (24 March), McKenna shared a statement detailing the postponement. He writes, "I know this will be disappointing for many of you but I have to announce that I am postponing the release of Zeros until August the 21st."

He goes on to explain that his upcoming tour dates have also been postponed, and adds, "This is not a decision I take lightly - I recorded the album in August last year, and for it to have taken a whole year to get out to the world is pretty jarring for me."

Before wrapping up his statement, McKenna writes, "On a lighter note this does not mean I am stopping until August, there are a fair few more tracks to come before then, and fortunately I was able to work on some incredibly exciting other projects before the situation had escalated so greatly in the UK."
