Hayden Thorpe Announces ‘Moondust For My Diamond – Every Piece Of Dust’ Edition

Produced by Nathan Jenkins (aka Bullion) and Richard Formby, the four new tracks see Thorpe explore a deeper, and more seductive side to his song writing. Today, Hayden shares “Polygod”, and reveals the origins of the new music: “Every Piece of Dust brings into the family all of the stray songs that were written alongside Moondust For My Diamond. I think of this release as a Director’s Cut – indulging some of the choices that went unmade up until now. There’s a mini-grief that happens when you finish off and move on from a record – you almost have to say, “I’m moving on forever”. However these songs stave off execution day for sometime yet.”

JORDY RELEASES NEW SINGLE “IDK SH!T” AHEAD OF LOLLAPALOOZA DEBUT

“I remember being a kid and thinking about what it would be like to be an adult: The freedoms, the knowledge, and the experience. Everything about it sounded so cool, but here we are, three years away from turning 30 and I still feel like a child,” JORDY explained about the song’s inspiration. “I feel like life lately has been cycles of calling my parents begging for answers: How do taxes work? How do you jump start a car? Should I be further ahead in my career? How do I find love? The list goes on, but sometimes, they don’t even have the answers. I want to normalize this feeling of not having it ‘together’ because truthfully, nobody fully does. It’s important to remember that in moments when you’re being hard on yourself,” he added.
