Declan McKenna’s latest single ‘Daniel, You’re Still A Child’ has been unveiled ahead of new album ‘Zeros’ which will be out on 21st August through Columbia Records.
Daniel is a name that appears on two tracks on Zeros, Declan describes him:
“You know, Daniel, You’re Still A Child because he’s lost in the aftermath, whether it’s lost in the sauce, stoned, lost in some existential fear or lost his way in some VR game. Daniel is this kid who has so much to prove, he has so much in him but he’s just continually being led astray because the world’s telling him that he’s not ‘normal’.”
adding
“Social media isn’t this alien spaceship, it’s the reality in which young people are living in. And I found myself living in this reality. I’m not trying to create a story that’s like ‘bleep bloop isn’t the future mad’ we’re living in that madness now!”
