Chris Farren has dropped ‘First Place’, the latest cut from his forthcoming album Doom Singer. Following earlier offerings ‘Cosmic Leash’ and ‘Bluish’, the single is accompanied by a video directed by comedian, actress, and writer Mitra Jouhari (Big Mouth). Watch and listen below.
“‘First Place’ used to be very different and I hated it, but Melina (Jay Som) said it was too good to not put on the record, so I figured out everything I hated about it (the old lyrics, mostly) and we changed it to the beautiful single you hear today,” Farren explained in a statemetnt. “My friend Jeff Rosenstock plays saxophone on it.”
“Chris went full method,” Jouhari commented. “It was really scary at first but ultimately so inspiring to see him dive so deep into his character (a singer named Chris Farren).”
