Maccabees frontman Orlando Weeks has shared the first taster of new material from his upcoming second solo album. Check out ‘Big Skies Silly Faces’ below and our video interview with Weeks above.Having only released his solo debut ‘A Quickening‘ last June, Weeks felt inspired during his downtime from not touring due to the pandemic while also wanting to show the happier side of fatherhood that he didn’t fully explore on his last album.“The record is my attempt to fill in some of the blanks left by ‘A Quickening’, and to that end I wanted everything to feel like it had more of a spring in its step – a little more joyful and satisfying,” Weeks told NME.
