Matt Champion announces his debut solo album Mika’s Laundry, and shares his latest single “Slow Motion” in collaboration with JENNIE. The album will be released March 22nd via RCA Records and includes previously released singles “Aphid” featuring Dijon and “Slug,” both of which were accompanied by Anna Pollack-directed music videos.

Mika’s Laundry crystallizes a radical shift for Matt in his return to his solo music, experimenting with new ideas over the course of several years to mold a singular sound. Speaking to this new approach, “Slow Motion” sees Champion wrestle with his peace of mind, complemented by production that nods to drum and bass influences. At the album’s core, Matt writes thoughtfully about the complexities of his relationships and asks the existential questions that come with growing up and discovering your place amongst your peers. Matt co-produced the album alongside Henry Kwapis, Dijon, and a handful of other close collaborators, warping his voice to complement the textures of the music.

Equally important to the music is the dystopian world Matt crafted for the album to exist within. A remote, but technologically sound community of cement-walled facilities, open plains, and greenhouse-like domes, at the center of which lies the album’s namesake club, Mika’s Laundry. Partnering with director Anna Pollack, Matt pieced the world together through a series of visuals that illustrate Matt’s idyllic future.
