Laura Jane Grace announces new album ‘Hole In My Head’ and shares video directed by Danny Trejo’s son
Laura Jane Grace has unveiled details of a new album, ‘Hole In My Head’, and has shared the album’s title track with a video directed by actor Danny Trejo’s son, Gilbert. Watch it below.
The track is the second from Grace’s upcoming new album, following on from ‘Dysphoria Hoodie’, which was released last month. According to the singer-songwriter, ‘Dysphoria Hoodie’ was a new anthem dedicated to the trans community and is a raw ode to a particular type of armour we hold onto when seeking comfort.
The new album will be released via Big Scary Monsters on February 16 and you can pre-order it here. The LP will mark the American musician’s first new music since 2021’s ‘At War With The Silverfish’ – an emotionally honest EP that saw Grace open up about her pent-up anger, fears and anxiety and convey it across seven songs.
The new album was recorded at Native Sound in St. Louis with David Beeman and mixed by Matt Allison. A statement described ‘Hole In My Head’ as “a sonic curio cabinet containing multitudes — a showcase that features warm, ’50s rock-influenced guitar riffs, saved-for-later lyrics, love letters to new surroundings, and thoughtful reflections on a punk life lived.”
