Declan McKenna is back with a new single, Sympathy.
The bright, uplifting track marks the singer-songwriter's first new music of 2023, and serves as the first taste of the currently unannounced follow-up to his 2020 LP 'Zeros'.
Premiering as BBC Radio 1's Hottest Record, it offers summery vibes infused with elements of '60s psychedelia and sunshine pop. It was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Gianluca Buccellati, and mixed by David Wrench.

"Sympathy doesn’t have a complex message, and, in itself, encourages simplicity and directness. It feels like a dream about love and compassion, it wants us to let go of inhibitions and allow ourselves to truly connect with others rather than overthinking and hiding your feelings away. Or put even simpler, it’s about peace and love."
He'll return to the live stage with appearances at Reading andLeeds in August.
