Andrew Hung — known for his collaborative projects with Fuck Buttons and Beth Orton — presents his propulsive new single/video, “Find Out,” from his forthcoming new album, Deliverance, out August 11th on Lex Records. “Find Out” emerges from shrouds of synth-laden percussion, with Hung’s ever-emotive vocals guiding the track to cathartic climaxes. Following lead single, “Ocean Mouth,” “Find Out” soars along Hung’s electric trail of singles, mere glimpses of Deliverance’s anthemic heights. “This is a song about isolation, which is very different from solitude,” Hung says. “I’ve never really felt part of any particular tribe, yet I know it exists because belonging is a deeply-ingrained need. The name of my album Deliverance alludes to this; I have finally found my tribe and I am finally delivered. The repeating line ‘I’ve never found my way home, but maybe one day I will be home’ is an incredibly empowering and hopeful proclamation.
Deliverance follows Hung’s 2021 album, Devastations. On Deliverance, Hung continues his punk ethos by writing, performing, producing and mixing the album himself. He also painted the self-portrait that adorns the cover of the album; his face staring back at you amongst a maelstrom of burning light and whispering shadows. Water, dreams, and love are recurring themes throughout the album, with hope as the central tenet acting as a thread weaving everything together.
Deliverance’s subject matter spans conflict, change, and isolation, and it is Hung’s most sublime creation to date; a colossal statement given the extent of his past iconic work.
