29 January 2020, 12:00 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Ghostpoet is back with details of his new album I Grow Tired But Dare Not Fall Asleep, as well as sharing his first single in three years, "Concrete Pony".

"Concrete Pony" is the first new release from Ghostpoet since his 2017 album Dark Days + Canapés.

Ghostpoet, aka Obaro Ejimiwe, says of the new single, "It’s a snapshot of where we're at as a society I feel, we seem to have everything and nothing at all. Infinite possibilities and choices galore but we seem set in stone, frozen in place, oblivious to the storm clouds in the distance…"

The new offering arrives with a foreboding visual directed by Thomas James.

I Grow Tired But Dare Not Fall Asleep is written, arranged, and produced by Ghostpoet, and was recorded in London.

The record includes guest vocals from the likes of Art School Girlfriend, Skinny Girl Diet’s Delilah Holiday, SaraSara, and Katie Dove Dixon.

  1. Breaking Cover
  2. Concrete Pony
  3. Humana Second Hand
  4. Black Dog Got Silver Eyes
  5. Rats In A Sack
  6. This Trainwreck Of A Life
  7. Nowhere To Hide Now
