Declan McKenna has released a new single, 'Mulholland’s Dinner And Wine'.
The track follows on from his cover of ABBA's 'Slipping Through My Fingers'. The track - which he originally performed on Instagram live back in 2021 - arrives ahead of the Dork cover star's third album, 'What Happened To The Beach'.
The full-length is set to be released on 9th February 2024 accompanied by a headline tour that kicks off in March.
Declan says of the song: “Mulholland’s Dinner and Wine was written with Gianluca Buccellati as a kind of weird, warped story about a cartoon-y criminal duo, and the origins of the title come from an off-licence in the UK, but it became entangled with Mulholland drive in LA. The lyrics came from observations driving around the hills there and conversations at strange, hip parties.”

All Points East 2026: Nell Mescal is nearly home, if she can find one first

She's spent four years writing brilliant songs about leaving - school, Ireland, friendships, the lot. New single 'Settles' is the first one about staying put, and it arrives with a flat hunt and a summer that includes a sold-out show at Lorde's All Points East. Funny how these things work out.

"You can't tell me what to do": Yard Act have found their freedom

There was a time when Yard Act felt like they had to keep running just to stay where they were. Now, with third album ‘You’re Gonna Need a Little Music’, they’re embracing uncertainty, trusting their own judgement and letting the songs take them wherever they end up.

"The projections have to stop": Ravyn Lenae is reclaiming her story

The success of hit single ‘Love Me Not’ opened every door. Rather than repeat herself, Ravyn Lenae has responded with fearless, expansive new album ‘Blue Island’, arriving ahead of a summer appearance at All Points East.
