Another New Thing Share ‘The Action Membrane’

Preston/Sheffield/Pennsylvania synth trio Another New Thing share the latest single from debut album XYZZY

Another New Thing, the new project of UK musicians Paul Nagle and Dean Honer, and Pennsylvania novelist and musician Don Himlin, have shared their latest single.

You can watch the video for ‘The Action Membrane’ above, which takes its inspiration from a curious phase Himlin heard come out of his radio: ‘Probe the action membrane!’

"What could it mean? What the hell is The Action Membrane?" reads a press release. "Inspired by the nonsensical phrase, a peculiar little song of love, lust, test tubes and laboratories was spawned. The original meaning lost to the ether."

The track appears on Another New Thing’s debut album XYZZY, and was named by tQ as one of the best albums released in February 2021. You can purchase it on vinyl here
