Childhood and Fat White Family members announce debut Insecure Men record
Insecure Men have today announced their self-titled debut record and shared a video for latest single "Teenage Toy".
The outfit, helmed by Saul Adamczewski (Fat White Family) and Ben Romans-Hopcraft (Childhood), have already shared two woozy pop tunes from the LP: "Subaru Nights" and the already-mentioned "Teenage Toy". Sharp Payne direct the newly aired visuals for the latter.
Insecure Men was recorded to an "ancient Tascam in Sean Lennon's studio in upstate New York". Lennon produced it, with Marta Salogni on mixing duties. "This is definitely a much more honest account of who I am and where I come from," says Adamczewski of the record, which contains songs about Gary Glitter, Operation Yewtree, the deaths of Whitney Houston and Bobbi Brown, and genuine love.
Insecure Men are rounded out by Marley Mackey of Dirty Harrys (also son of Pulp's Steve Mackey) on lapsteel, Victor Jakeman (Claw Marks) on organ, Jose Isherwood (We Smoke Fags) on keys, and Alex White and Jack Everett (Fat White Family) on sax and drums respectively. "A mysterious South London music teacher known only as Steely Dan," is also involved, playing vibraphone and steel drums. Honey Hahs also contribute to a track.
Insecure Men have also announced a new UK tour for spring, with everything kicking off at a London Scala show on 8 March. Find out more.
