St. Vincent and War On Drugs producer John Congleton is releasing a solo record

Congleton's worked with dozens of artists during his career as a producer - as well as St. Vincent and the War On Drugs, he's worked with Sigur Rós, Explosions In The Sky, John Grant, Swans, Erykah Badu, and Earl Sweatshirt. Once upon a time Congleton fronted a band called The Paper Chase.

In a statement about the record, Congleton writes:

"to me the human condition (the water in which my music tends to swim) is in some ways the slow realization magic does not exist. the idealizations one has as a child are chipped away by the lubrication of life; we slowly discover there is no santa claus, no salvation as we were promised. until the horror goes is in some ways the musical manifestation of that screaming child rejecting the intimacy and connection for which it cries; the endless quest for the sublime uncovering only the inane. the feeling of aloneness in the universe while connecting with everyone else feeling alone and laughing at the simple irony we all feel alone together."

Fat Possum will release Until The Horror Goes on 1 April.
