Declan McKenna said he was "making music in a way that I find really fun"Singer-songwriter Declan McKenna said his first new music in two years was his "proudest work to date".McKenna, who is playing at Reading and Leeds next month, has been working on new music in London, Brighton and Los Angeles since lockdown ended."The core of every song has basically been constructed and recorded in a bedroom or a living room," he said.
He said his new music was "a little less heady" than his last album Zeros, which released in 2020 during the pandemic. He organised the gig himself alongside his sister Rosanna McKenna to raise funds for Mapping Broxbourne, an interactive map that supports local arts, cultural and community spaces. "I'm very much a lover of British music and I think coming from somewhere like Cheshunt is so important to that because there is nowhere else in the world like it," he said.
