Jehnny Beth releases fierce new cut "Innocence"

"Innocence" follows on from previous singles "Flower" and "I'm The Man", and arrives with a visual that was recorded during a rehearsal before the coronavirus lockdown.

To Love Is To Live will be Beth's first album since teaming up with Johnny Hostile on the score for Chelsea Manning documentary XY Chelsea last summer. The new album will feature collaborations with The xx’s Romy Madley Croft, Peaky Blinders actor Cillian Murphy, and IDLES’ Joe Talbot. Contributing producers include Flood, Nine Inch Nails' Atticus Ross, and Johnny Hostile.

Beth has pushed back the release date of her debut solo LP due to the ongoing pandemic. She says of her decision to delay it, "Record stores are where I found myself as a teenager, digging through albums that ultimately shaped who I have become. To release my first ever solo album in a way that would leave them out felt wrong to me; luckily, we were able to find a date that would allow us to release the physical and digital album at the same time."
