Keaton Henson announces new album Parader, shares new single ‘Insomnia’

Keaton Henson has announced the release of his new album Parader, due out November 21 via Play it Again Sam.

He also shared the accompanying new single ‘Insomnia’. “I’m singing about the fact that I can't sleep from my bedroom in wild rural Sussex,” the singer comments, “looking out over the fields, but then it’s like there's suddenly a 7-Eleven in the middle of the field, old memories invading my present.”

The track is accompanied by an animated stop motion video made by Henson himself, which is said to reflect “the dreaminess and surrealism” of the tune.

Parader marks Henson’s ninth studio album and his first since 2024’s Somnambulant Cycles. It also follows his recent return single 'Lazy Magician' (co-written by Ratboys’ Julia Steiner), which was released in July.

The record is made up of 12 introspective tracks exploring time and the present: ““There are these disjointed snapshots,” Henson explains, “memories across time popping up amongst this collection of thoughts about what it feels like to be this age and a musician.”

Parader is available for pre-order here.
