Leon Vynehall recently announced his new album Rare, Forever will be released on 30 April via Ninja Tune. Along with the announcement he shared two tracks ‘Mothra‘ and ‘Ecce! Ego!‘. Today he has shared new track ‘Snakeskin ∞ Has-Been‘ as well as announcing a new headline show at London‘s Heaven on 24 November. This follows up the announcement last week that Vynehall will perform at the now sold-out We Out Here Festival in August.
The album follows on from 2018’s critically acclaimed debut Nothing Is Still – which garnered widespread praise including appearing in ‘Album of the Year’ lists from Mojo (#1 ‘Electronic Album of the Year’), Rough Trade, Mixmag, Esquire, The Vinyl Factory, RA and more.
Speaking of the new track Vynehall says:
“Over and over in a snake’s life it will molt and shed it’s old, outgrown skin. It does not grow with the size of the snake itself, and soon hinders its advancement, leaving the skin behind like a memory. An artefact of where it once was. I believe good artists do this too. It’s what I try to do with every record.”
After bringing euphoria to dancefloors all over the world with the humid house of Rojus (Designed To Dance) and Music For The Uninvited, Leon Vynehall took a sharp left turn with debut album Nothing Is Still — a masterclass in subverting expectations. On Rare, Forever Vynehall is showcasing all the strings to his bow – creating music that’s borderless and unbound. The album sees Vynehall for the first time investigating who he is as a person and artist in the very moment, rather than looking to the past to discover what and who has shaped him. The result contains multiple sides to him, but variety in his art is something Vynehall is used to. On Rare, Forever, he’s taking a victory lap. The album is a beautiful marriage of everything he’s done so far while remaining genuinely progressive; the end result sounding like Nothing Is Still but with the narrative toned down, and the dancefloor dialled up.
Rare, Forever will feel familiar for fans of Vynehall’s DJ-Kicks mix or his eclectic excursions on NTS while simultaneously sounding unlike anything he’s ever done before. As much as there are dancefloor memories and moments, it’s not strictly a dance record — instead, Rare, Forever is the clearest representation of the broad spectrum of music he’s made to date.More recently, Vynehall has set up a new recording space ‘Studio Ooze’ to expand his collaborations and has been writing and producing for the likes of Kam-Bu, Wesley Joseph, Kenzie TTH and Jeshi – a number of which are slated for imminent release.
