Daniel Knox previews upcoming album with second single "Fall Apart"

After releasing the lead single "Fool In The Heart" last month, Knox is back with a second preview of the album - "Fall Apart".

Knox says of his latest outing, "I wouldn’t mind anyone mistaking this for a love song but I really meant it for everyone. Sometimes I look at the cracks in things in a sentimental way, but other times I look around and think ‘what happened to this place’? That goes for my home, the city where I live, my body, and the entire world. Any place you reside you end up damaging somehow. There’s that part you’ve been meaning to fix for ages but it just gets away from you."

He continues, "I’m an optimistic person but I think that true optimism comes with acceptance. You have to be able to set the table in the middle of a cyclone sometimes if you want to get on with things."

Won't You Take Me With You will follow Knox's You Are My Friend: The Songs of Mister Rogers LP that landed in June, and will mark his first studio album since 2018's Chasescene.

The songs on the album take place at different locations, including a Chicago alleyway, Washington Park, a run-down shopping centre, a hotel in Knoxville, Tennessee, and the highway.

Knox says of the new album, "Every song on Won’t You Take Me With You has a trap door that leads to one or more other songs on the record. I wanted the songs to stand apart but still hold hands. It was important to me that these songs all know each other, but not necessarily live in the same time and place."
