Whitney K returns withBubble, his first album for Fire Records and follow-up to 2022s acclaimedHard To Be A God. Whitney K continue his migrant mind games, summoning up a series of intriguing characters, littered with everyday foibles and fantasies.

Along the way, he pens a journal of possibilities as he travels further into transient America, touching on everything from bar room chatter, rumour and distortion to misinformation, daydreams, misunderstanding and self- realisation; with anecdotes lifted from the paperback in his back pocket and his half-forgotten past.

Bubbleis a 13-part cerebral mystery that unravels on songs that bring to mind the gruff sentimentality of the late Kris Kristoferson, Lennons Jealous Guy, Eels at their most troubled and the American Gothic sketches of David Ackles; the perfect soundtrack for a Raymond Carver book club.
