- The follow-up to his 2018 LP, soil, is due out in March.
New serpentwithfeet material is arriving soon.
Landing via Secretly Canadian on March 26th, DEACON comes three years after the release of his debut album, soil.
Written following serpentwithfeet's move to Los Angeles, the focus of the album is Black queer love, as well as the tenderness which pervades those platonic and romantic relationships. The record fans out over eleven tracks, featuring contributions from Sampha, Lil Silva and NAO. The LP's debut single, "Fellowship," is out now, accompanied by a music video featuring picturesque shots of serpentwithfeet and his partner on the beach.
"I originally approached this project wanting to make something that felt very sensuous. Something a lot softer, a lot more gentle than my previous work," serpentwithfeet says about the album. Alluding to his religious upbringing, the album's title is named after the member of the Christian office that aids in the church's charitable functions. "I wanted to create something that felt calm and restrained. This was my way of tapping into the energy many deacons possess," he continues.
serpentwithfeet is a Baltimore-raised, Los Angeles-based experimental musician. He first gained recognition with the release of his debut EP, blisters, in 2016.
