Hayden Thorpe previews new album with third single "Metafeeling"

Following the release of last month's "Parallel Kingdom" and July's lead single "The Universe Is Always Right", Thorpe has unveiled a third outing from the record titled "Metafeeling".

Thorpe says of the Percy Dean-directed video, "Nan Shepherd wrote in The Living Mountain, ‘In the rarefied air of the plateau, and indeed anywhere in the mountain, for the air is clear everywhere, shadows are sharp and intense’. I went after that rarefied air and the only way director Percy Dean and I could capture it was to get up there. A summit fever came over us both and we ended up climbing two mountains that day, Fleetwith Pike and Honister Crag. He, with a heavy-as-hell camera and me carrying an acoustic guitar dressed in a Nudie suit. The invisible thrust that pushed us up there is pretty familiar to me, when you’re suspended between rock and sky there's an explosion of the senses. Translating just a fraction of that euphoria is a lifetime’s work."

Moondust For My Diamond will follow Thorpe's 2019 debut solo album Diviner, and according to Thorpe it explores "the meeting point between science and religion, the grand struggle for reality that shapes so much of our time."

He continues, "What about nature? What about the cosmos? What about all these things that break through the tyranny of the self? Our sense organs bring the world inside of us after all, I just had to sing it back out. I was enchanted again with the mystery of science and how I might speak from the heart in an age where metric is gospel."
