Working Males’s Membership’s Sydney Minsky Sargeant broadcasts debut solo album ‘Lunga’ and shares minimalistic single ‘I Don’t Wanna’

Working Males’s Membership’s Sydney Minsky Sargeant is releasing a solo album ‘Lunga’, and has previewed it with the lead single ‘I Don’t Wanna’.

The album can be launched on September 12 through Domino and is obtainable to pre-order here.

Per a press launch, ‘Lunga’ is billed as “a stupendous side-step from the music that Sydney Minsky Sargeant has been recording as Working Males’s Membership for the previous seven years”. Its songs have been written over a interval of a number of years, some relationship again to when Sargeant was an adolescent rising up in Todmorden.

“I’m making an attempt to put on my heart-on-my-sleeve a bit extra, these songs come from a seek for that means and understanding,” stated Sargeant. “I’m at all times making an attempt to unpick myself and people round me, those I really like and liked essentially the most. There have been ideas and emotions that these songs helped me specific, tackle and make sense of.”

Reflecting on the album’s title, he stated ‘Lunga’ “is one other method of claiming we're all one and the identical deep down and that we must always attempt to do not forget that a little bit extra. In a world that has by no means felt so scary and polarised, I simply hope this album connects with folks.”

The album’s lead single ‘I Don’t Wanna’ is a mild, minimalistic affair centered round an acoustic guitar and in a while, some synths. “Speak in confidence to me / I’ll put down everybody / I’ll put down all the things / If loving that is fallacious then I don’t wanna be proper,” he sings.
