“Consumer” by Blackhaine

XL Recordings artist Blackhaine, recently announced the details of his forthcoming debut album Saints In The Wethouse. The UK artist’s LP drops on November 13th, along with the news, the artist has shared “Consumer,” the lead-track off the album, paired with a video directed by Elena Isolini and featuring Blackhaine as Creative Director. Blackhaine will premiere Saints In The Wethouse live this weekend at his appearance at Warsaw’s Unsound Festival on October 4th.

Saints In The Wethouse, is described as “a drunken confession and brawling swagger; hardcore songs about a deserted man seeking salvation through exhaustion.” Six years since Blackhaine’s story began in a Blackpool hotel room, resulting in 2020’s Armour EP on classmate Rainy Miller’s Fixed Abode label, the north west England.

Almost entirely recorded by Blackhaine, with producer Wraith9 (EsDeeKid, Fakemink), along with Rainy Miller, Croww, Space Afrika — with additional contributions from Ship Sket, Vanessa Bedoret, and Gabe Evans.

Blackhaine’s live shows and art-world exhibitions carry that same uniquely intense stage presence and clarity of vision — sought for stage and creative direction by the likes of Playboi Carti, and presented at institutions including the Tate Modern, Centre Pompidou, Sonar, Manchester International Festival, the Venice Biennale and Club2Club.
