Deaton Chris Anthony links with BENEE on new single "Good Buy My Old Life"

Deaton Chris Anthony has teamed up with New Zealand's BENEE for his latest SID THE KID release "Good Buy My Old Life".

"Good Buy My Old Life" with BENEE is accompanied by a Justice Vaughn Ott-directed video, and follows last month's "Shed Head" single.

"Kansas was home for me all of my life before I moved to Los Angeles," Anthony explained. "Kansas is where I thought I was meant to do one thing and one thing only. Bowl. At the age of 12, I placed the highest score in my age group in all of Kansas. 246. I went on to become bowling captain in High School and demolished my high score with a 286 at regionals. As the years went by, I never could beat my high score. Those 14 missed pins haunted me. A 300 is every bowler’s dream! I thought bowling was my purpose but I was wrong."

He continued, "Moving to Los Angeles crushed my bowling career and my life became a rat race. Becoming the worlds biggest pop star isn’t easy after all. It’s brutal. It’s war. I’ve learned so much over the years recording music but I have to be honest, these days all I can think about is bowling."

"Bowling isn’t just a sport or a thing to do with your friends," he added. "It’s a lifestyle and it’s my life! Style. Where is it in bowling these days? Have you seen what the pros are wearing? Ouch. Bowling is in dire need of a rebrand. A revolution! My mission is to make bowling stylish again. Maybe even as stylish as the bowling animations on screen when you get a strike?"

His SID THE KID album will also feature his beabadoobee collaboration "iScream", "R3al Eye$", "Re4lL1ze" and "R34l L1e$".

"Good Buy My Old Life" with BENEE is out now. Deaton Chris Anthony's SID THE KID album will be released via Dirty Hit on 29 July.
