Info
My New Band Believe, the new band from former black midi bassist and sometime frontman Cameron Picton, comes to The Globe in Cardiff this autumn. To coincide with the release of their self-titled debut album, the band have announced a run of dates including this gig.
My New Band Believe’s debut album is released on 10 April through Rough Trade Records. Picton says, “With this whole record, I was trying to make another case for how the modern singer-songwriter album could sound, both in terms of its production and the writing of the songs themselves. I felt some more popular examples of the genre released between 2019-2023 would make the big feel inconsequential and the small nothing at all, so with this I’ve tried to give consequence to the small to make the big feel real”.
The group’s debut is a hallucinatory record. It is a collection of music that swerves through different emotional and thematic registers, all the while unravelling a thread of dream logic. Picton is an unreliable but charismatic narrator, and together with a cast of players including Kiran Leonard, Caius Williams, Steve Noble and Andrew Cheetham, he guides the listener through a rapidly unfolding multiverse of the band’s making. With My New Band Believe, he comes into his own as a bandleader and arranges conflicting, fragmentary and hysterical ideas until they form a new kind of sense.
