Methyl Ethel announces new album with Stella Donnelly collaboration "Proof"
Methyl Ethel is back with news of his new album Are You Haunted?, and has teamed up with fellow Australian musician Stella Donnelly on the lead single "Proof".
"Proof" is Methyl Ethel's first new material of 2022, and follows last year's "Matters" and "Neon Cheap" singles, which will also feature on Are You Haunted?.
The new single sees Methyl Ethel link up with Stella Donnelly, and is accompanied by a self-directed video.
Speaking about working with Donnelly, Webb said, "Stella is one of the most truth-telling artists I’ve ever heard. It made for a perfect match."
Donnelly added, "Working on "Proof" with Jake felt like being invited to the set of your favourite movie, such an insightful and wonderful experience."
Are You Haunted? will follow 2019's Triage album.
Webb said of the album title, "There are these spirits, memories of our old selves, our younger selves, parents, generations past whose deeds, actions, successes and failures shape us. We all have these ghosts that linger in our present predicaments."
He added, "A dear friend of mine recently passed away, the studio is his. I spent many years of experimentation with him, learning so much looking over his shoulder. It feels special to continue to share the space with his ghost, I’m still learning from him."
