Working Men\u2019s Club<\/a>\u2019s Sydney Minsky Sargeant has shared the latest taster of his debut solo album \u2013 listen to \u2018Long Roads\u2019 below.<\/p>\n

The singer will release \u2018Lunga\u2019 on September 12 via Domino and it is available to pre-order here<\/a>. Last month, he also released the record\u2019s minimalistic lead single \u2018I Don\u2019t Wanna\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, he has given fans another glimpse of the album in the form of \u2018Long Roads\u2019, a reflective slow-burner based around a recurring finger-picked guitar motif. Check out the song\u2019s video, directed by Nick Griffiths, here:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Speaking about the track, Minsky Sargeant has said: \u201cI don\u2019t want to sound all hippy dippy, but this album helped me realise it\u2019s ok to love and say that within a song because it\u2019s a true and honest feeling and one that I\u2019m not embarrassed to admit or accept. But it\u2019s also ok to say I got some stuff wrong and I\u2019m no perfect person. I\u2019m just living each day trying to make sense of the world around me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Per a press release, \u2018Lunga\u2019 is billed as \u201ca beautiful side-step from the music that Sydney Minsky Sargeant has been recording as Working Men\u2019s Club for the past seven years\u201d. Its songs were written over a period of several years, some dating back to when Sargeant was a teenager growing up in Todmorden.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m trying to wear my heart-on-my-sleeve a bit more, these songs come from a search for meaning and understanding,\u201d said Sargeant. \u201cI\u2019m always trying to unpick myself and those around me, the ones I love and loved the most. There were thoughts and feelings that these songs helped me express, address and make sense of.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the album\u2019s title, he said \u2018Lunga\u2019 \u201cis another way of saying we are all one and the same deep down and that we should try to remember that a little more. In a world that has never felt so scary and polarised, I just hope this album connects with people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sargeant is also a member of supergroup Demise Of Love alongside producer Daniel Avery<\/a>\u00a0and James Greenwood, aka Ghost Culture, who recently released their self-titled debut EP.<\/p>\n

The most recent Working Men\u2019s Club album was \u2018Fear Fear\u2019, the follow-up to their self-titled debut album.\u00a0It received four stars from\u00a0NME\u00a0in 2022<\/a>, who noted: \u201cSure, it\u2019s a dizzying landscape, but the chaotic palette does justice to the devastation and confusion faced in recent years. Working Men\u2019s Club certainly wear the trauma well, but this riveting exploration truly thrives by seeking the light beyond the gloom.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Working Men\u2019s Club\u2019s Sydney Minsky Sargeant has shared the latest taster of his debut solo album \u2013 listen…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":277518,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3936],"tags":[77,481,269,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-277517","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-indie","10":"tag-music","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114885926801974604","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277517","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=277517"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277517\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/277518"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=277517"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=277517"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=277517"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
