Midland will release his debut studio album, on October 4, after more than a decade releasing singles and EPs that helped establish him among the United Kingdom’s leading underground DJs and producers. Fragments of Us, released via his own label, Graded, is an “homage to and celebration of the gift of otherness and the spaces and voices that have helped along the way,” Midland said in press materials. Listen to new song “Never Enough,” sung by Midland himself, below.
As well as his own singing, Fragments of Us incorporates the voices of outsider artists including David Wojnarowicz, Horse Meat Disco’s Luke Howard, Jonny Seymour, and Marlon Riggs.
