Confidence Man Detail New Album, ‘3AM (LA LA LA)’

They've also shared a new single from the record, 'SO WHAT'

Confidence Man have shared details of their new album, 3AM (LA LA LA).

Spanning 12 tracks, the Australian group’s third studio album was inspired by their relocation to London, as well as taking in the city’s queer club scene. Much of it was recorded at East London’s Pony Studios with the group’s members frequently spending full nights there writing lyrics and improvising vocal takes.

“We pretty much wrote every single song when we were wrecked,” vocalist Janet Planet said in a statement. “We’d get blasted and stay up ’til 9am coming up with music, but we noticed that 3am was the hottest time for when we were on it and the best ideas were coming out.”

The album includes previously released single ‘I CAN’T LOSE YOU’, as well as the newly unveiled track ‘SO WHAT’, which you can listen to below. In a collective statement about the latter song, the group said: “We’re back with the on shoulders anthem you never knew you needed. It’s hard. It’s fast. It’s basically Muhammad Ali and your ears are everyone he ever boxed. They say it gets lonely at the top, so we made this banger to share the view.”

Chaos / Polydor / I Oh You will release 3AM (LA LA LA) on October 18, 2024.
