​​BADLY DRAWN BOY 
​NEW SINGLE - ‘IS THIS A DREAM?​’
​- 24TH JANUARY 2020 

Badly Drawn Boy, aka Damon Gough, releases a new single entitled 'Is This A Dream?' on January 24th, through Kobalt Music. Produced and mixed in Stockport last year by Gethin Pearson (Kele Okereke, JAWS) after original production by Youth (The Verve, Paul McCartney), the single marks the end of a seven year recording break and is accompanied by a stunning animated video by Broken Antler.

'Is This A Dream?' shows Gough pushing forward yet again both musically and lyrically whilst retaining some of his classic trademarks and as always wearing his heart on his sleeve. The single is available to download from the usual major outlets:

“The song is a sound collage of chaos and confusion to reflect the ridiculous times we live in. A deliberately cartoonesque sonic poke in the eye, to those in whom we place trust, yet instead supply constant barrage of misinformation followed by bad decisions.”  Badly Drawn Boy
 ​

To celebrate the release of the single the Mercury Music Prize winner is playing a ’Sold Out’ London show at The Roundhouse in Chalk Farm with his new band where they will be playing a mixture of old and new songs.

I loved 'You Were Right'. I was going out with Jenny when it came out. Her sister was married to Chaz Jankel of Ian Dury fame and I really loved her. When the lyric said 'Always hoped you'd be my wife" I really did, but it never worked out.  Hoping to chat with him soon. best pp x
