Methyl Ethel (the project of musical polymath Jake Webb) is kicking off the year with some some big news — a brand new album, ‘Are You Haunted?’, the follow-up to 2019’s ‘Triage’ LP. For his fifth album, set for release on February 18 via Future Classic, Webb returned to the studio where he recorded and wrote the first songs for Methyl Ethel.
The announcement has arrived with new single “Proof”, a collaboration with Stella Donnelly, who’s previously filled in as Methyl’s guitarist on tour. “Proof” features Methyl Ethel’s signature new wave soundscapes, with textured guitar, a staccato-like hook contrasted against smooth melodies, and revolving synths. The track arrives with a video directed by Webb, which features Donnelly and Webb donning boiler suits and slathering walls with paint.
