Cullen Omori announces sophomore album The Diet, airs new video for “Happiness Reigns”
The former Smith Westerns frontman Cullen Omori has returned with news of his sophomore album The Diet, as well as new visuals for single "Happiness Reigns".
Following on from April's revealing of new track "Four Years", Cullen Omori has now revealed plans to release his sophomore album.
Named The Diet, Omori's second album will have 11 tracks, including the second single "Happiness Reigns".
Omori went more in depth on his latest single, "On "Happiness Reigns", I was consciously trying to prevent the song from lyrically falling into this one-way ode to an idolized muse. Of course, some of my favourite artists like T-Rex or John Cale have albums chock full of them but my intention was never to be a rock classicist or to make something that was an extension of my influences. So, I had her write it with me. If I was going to write this about someone, even in vague terms, I thought it would be interesting to intertwine their perception of themselves and of our relationship."
