‘Lights'' is the second single from 'Linear B' - the 25 year delayed debut album by Herald, aka Lawrence Worthington (The Male Nurse, Country Teasers, Yummy Fur). 10 Neo-psychedelic alt-pop gems co-produced with Deakin (Animal Collective).

The album will be available via all major streaming platforms and on vinyl from June 14th, 2024.

Lawrence played drums throughout the 1990’s with The Male Nurse, Country Teasers and Yummy Fur, recording several Peel sessions and touring extensively. During this period he began writing songs for a potential solo record. Adopting the name Herald, he played one show and featured on a Vesuvius Records compilation, before relocating to Baltimore MD in 2001 for love.

The move resulted in a musical hiatus as life’s focus switched to marriage and a career as a carpenter. In 2012, while helping a friend build a recording studio, Lawrence met a lot of the musicians active in the vibrant Baltimore music scene. Inspired by new relationships and spurred on by a few close friends, he assembled the same equipment he had in the 90’s and set up a basic studio in his basement.

Around this time he was introduced to Josh Dibb (Deakin, Animal Collective). They bonded quickly over their similar backgrounds and a mutual love of music like the Residents, Forever Changes, Portisheads’s Third, Frank Ocean & Psychocandy. Lawrence would send Josh demos, and when one in particular caught his ear, he suggested they book a few days in a ‘legit’ studio. 

It went well, yielding the songs ‘Poster From Athena’ and ‘Soul Ronnie’. Encouraged by the outcome, it became something they did every other weekend. Lawrence would write and perform, Josh took on engineering and mixing duties and they co-produced the sessions. The result is Linear B; a stunning debut born out of geography, circumstance and friendship, 25 years in the making.
