Now guess who’s back with a brand new track?
Why it’s only everybody’s favourite indie-pop wonderkid: Declan McKenna. The song in question is titled Daniel, You’re Still a Child, and it’s precisely the kind of shimmering, retro-tinged, and unapologetically cynical indie stomper that made us fall in love with Declan in the first place.
Here’s what the man himself makes of it all:
“Daniel’s lost in the aftermath: whether it’s lost in the sauce, stoned, lost in some existential fear or lost his way in some VR game. Daniel is this kid who has so much to prove – he has so much in him but he’s just continually being led astray because the world’s telling him that he’s not ‘normal’.”

And if that’s turned you into a bona fide Declan McKenna fan, then we’ve got some good news for you.
Ahead of the release of his new album, Zeros, on August 21st, Declan McKenna has also announced a massive UK and European tour. He’ll be heading to a city near(ish) you from March through to April 2021, including a stop at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on April 1st.
