Declan McKenna unveils new single 'Elevator Hum'

With his eagerly-awaited new album due out early next year, Declan McKenna has now dropped the next cut to be lifted from his forthcoming full-length.

The new single 'Elevator Hum' follows on from the previously shared outings 'Sympathy' and 'Nothing Works' in previewing his third LP 'What Happened To The Beach?', which is out on the 9th February via Columbia Records.

Speaking about the new offering, he said, “Elevator Hum was a tune that came in the latter stages of my first trip to LA working on the album with Luca. He threw the chords down and the riff fell into my hands. It’s a song that felt like it captured some nostalgic essence of friendship as we built a relationship through creating music together. The freedom and playfulness of the lyrics, and the gentle but fun glide of the track, take me back to being a kid in a way.”
