[enter Chris Farren] The born-hot, immortal super-spy is back and ready to (possibly, maybe) save the world… again! His latest musical offering is an enormous cathartic shredder titled “Cosmic Leash” and it serves as a prelude to his ode to existence & masterful new album, Doom Singer - out August 4. Watch the ground-breaking Clay Tatum-directed music video below (alert the Academy) and pre-order on limited edition Early Bird Orange/Purple Mix vinyl. Reap what you sow and invest in the merch of a lifetime: The Cup-2-Go, jumbo totebag (for all your fears), and the Prayboy woven blanket. Plus, stay tuned for details on his world domination (tour).

Ask Chris Farren how he feels when he finishes an album and he won’t hesitate to respond with: “Miserable. Miserable. Miserable." 

On past solo records, Chris submitted himself to agonizing isolation where he might’ve spent hours tweaking a single canned drumbeat all by his lonesome. In creating Doom Singer, he took a conscious left-turn and found himself in Melina Duterte (Jay Som)'s Atwater Village studio where his esteemed Polyvinyl label-mate would ultimately produce, engineer, mix and perform on the record. (Later, they would celebrate at The Cheesecake Factory). Written with live drummer and newfound confidant, Frankie Impastato, and featuring Jeff Rosenstock on the occasional bass and saxophone, this collaborative method offered a spontaneity that breathed new dimensionality into The Chris Farren Project.  

We’re made to believe aging makes you wiser, but as Chris Farren has grown into the prodigious songwriter you hear on Doom Singer, he’s only grown less certain. “I’m constantly processing the way I feel about things, and I didn’t want any of these songs to sound sure of themselves, or to communicate any clear message,” he says. “There will be struggle in everything. I’ll always be fighting with myself, and I need to find a certain peace with that.”
