New Album You Heartbreaker, You Out August 29th on Fiction Records

Set For A Run Of September UK Instore Dates

October UK & EU Headline Dates Announced

Including Two London Dates on 30th & 31st October

Following the announcement of her sophomore album You Heartbreaker, You earlier this year, songwriter, singer, and multi-disciplinary artist Jehnny Beth releases new single ‘No Good For People’. A distorted cacophony of synths, ‘No Good For People’ is the latest cut from her forthcoming new album, which comes August 29th on Fiction Records. Listen to ‘No Good For People’ HERE & watch the video HERE.

“The idea of the song came as I re-watched the first season of True Detective,” Jehnny said of the track. “There’s a scene at the end where the character played by Matthew McConaughey says that he can be hard to live with: “I don’t mean to, but I can be…critical. Sometimes I think I’m just not good for people…I wear them down”. It spoke to me because it questions the inability to coexist with others and the delicate balance where the truth can be heartbreaking.”

The track comes alongside a striking video co-directed by Jehnny and collaborator Johnny Hostile. “For this album, Johnny and I worked on the music and the visuals simultaneously. One moment we were recording in the studio, the next we were taking pictures, or making a t-shirt, one always informing the other,” Jehnny says of the video. “For the ‘No Good For People’ video we explored this idea of the double, how we can be two-faced sometimes, or want to hide our ugly side. It was made soon after David Lynch had died and somehow, when I watch it now, I can see a bit of his influence in the surrealistic aspects of some of the scenes (with blue curtains instead of red though!!)”.

Known for her ferocious live shows, Jehnny has announced a run of October headline dates through the UK and EU, including shows at Electrowerkz and The Camden Assembly in London on October 30th and 31st, respectively. More info HERE.

She has also just announced four Rough Trade in-store shows through September. Tickets for the shows can be purchased by pre-ordering the record from the individual stores.

Recorded and produced by longtime co-creator Johnny Hostile at their 20L07 studio in France, You Heartbreaker, You is visceral, abrasive and cathartic. “We’re living in a dark time, full of drama and barbarous tragedy. It became clear to me that, in these times, we either learn how to scream really well, or we learn how to whisper,” Jehnny says of the record.

Capturing the feeling of being broken in a broken world, where love still operates on a prehistoric level, You Heartbreaker, You is a radical work that cuts straight to the core: heart to heart
