Du Blonde shares final LP preview ‘Solitary Individual’ (feat. Against Me!’s Laura Jane Grace), out today (November 1st), marking the fourth reveal from the musician’s ‘Sniff More Gritty’ LP (pre-order here), arriving November 15th via Daemon T.V.

Throughout ‘Sniff More Gritty’, Du Blonde revels in solitude and stares down assumptions about her life choices. On ‘Solitary Individual’, a folk-punk freakout featuring Laura Jane Grace, she touches on the glee of ignoring societal pressures to socialise, and embracing a hermitic lifestyle, celebrating ’Pants off, late nights and lie-ins’.

Having self-produced her third album ‘Homecoming’ in 2021, after years of working relationships with record labels and industry producers, Du Blonde found herself able to finally express herself musically in a way that her previous situation would not allow. The freedom that came with her move to production and engineering opened up a new sonic world for Du Blonde, one that is arguably catchier, more colourful and more exciting than anything she had been allowed to bring forth previously. Aside from live drums, played by Chris McManus, ‘Sniff More Gritty’ is entirely performed, engineered and produced by Du Blonde, and also features unique collaborations with the aforementioned Against Me!’s Laura Jane Grace, as well as Skunk Anansie’s Skin, Maximo Park’s Paul Smith and The Futureheads’ Ross Millard.

With widespread acclaim circulating throughout the press community in recent years (The Guardian, The Sunday Times, Pitchfork, Brooklyn Vegan, NME, MOJO, Uncut, The Line of Best Fit, Clash, Loud & Quiet, Crack, Wonderland, Under The Radar, The Needle Drop, Guitar World), as well as considerable attention across the BBC 6 Music (Steve Lamacq - ‘Homecoming’ was his 2021 album of the year, Chris Hawkins) airwaves, Du Blonde has certainly become a formidable presence within the indie landscape and will be taking her scintillating live show on the road in January and February 2025 (incl. a Scala, London headliner), showcasing ‘Sniff More Gritty’ in full.

Detailing her final LP preview, Du Blonde explained: “I wrote ‘Solitary Individual’ for all the hermitic loners out there who want to stay at home and definitely don't want to come to your party. When I first wrote the song, I could hear the ghost of Laura Jane Grace's raucous snarl, so the fact she ended up lending her awesome vocals to the song was a real honour. So please, take your pants off, stay up late and have a lie in for us!"

Du Blonde’s ‘Solitary Individual’ (feat. Laura Jane Grace) is out now via Daemon T.V and available on all digital platforms.
