ORLANDO WEEKS RELEASES NEW SINGLE 'DIG' FEATURING RHIAN TEASDALE OF WET LEGPREMIERED ON BBC 6MUSIC WITH STEVE LAMACQ

From his influential time with The Maccabees to the multi-faceted ‘Gritterman’ story and two highly acclaimed solo albums, Orlando Weeks has carved a niche as one of the UK’s most singular talents. That reputation will further flourish with the news that he will release his new album ‘LOJA’ digitally on all platforms on June 6th; with physical formats to follow on August 23rd via Fiction Records. Available to pre-save HERE across streaming platforms; Orlando previews the album by sharing its lead single ‘Dig’, which features Rhian Teasdale of Wet Leg.

​‘Dig’ is a driving, motorik groove which captures an “under your breath half-argument, the kind that only ever happens in public.” Orlando and Rhian Teasdale trade lines, the song’s inner tension building as his conspiratorial delivery is countered by her scathing, weary dismissal. Its social realist lyrics are given a fantastical twist with a video from director Matt Harris-Freeth, who previously helmed the ‘Look Who’s Talking Now’ video.
Orlando adds, “‘Dig’ is a tit for tat exchange where long worn-out promises are remade and road weary offences retaken. The kind of disagreement that manages to be somewhere between outpouring of emotion and exposed internal monologue.”
