Will Varley presents his new album The Hole Around My Head, his first new material since 2018. With it comes the single ‘Pushing Against Us’.

The album will be the first to be released on Yellow Cake, a brand new record label and artist protection entity set up by record producer Cameron McVey (internationally renowned for his work with Massive Attack, Portishead, Sugababes, and his wife Neneh Cherry). McVey produced Varley’s last album, 2018’s The Spirit Of Minnie, and the two stayed in touch. “When I started writing this new album I gave Cam a call and he told me he was starting a label, so things went from there,” Varley explains.

The singer songwriter self-produced the new album over the Winter lockdown in his makeshift studio on the Kent coast, playing most of the instruments himself. Having never produced an album before, he had McVey on hand via video call to offer encouragement and advice from his family spread deep in the Swedish forest. 

The album was mastered by iconic mastering engineer Howie Weinberg (Nirvana, Tom Waits, Prince), following up on an offer to master Varley’s next record after the singer songwriter turned up at his house in LA with some fried chicken in early 2020. 

Varley’s music has built him a huge following &amp; he has extensively toured throughout the World. His last UK headline shows being London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire &amp; a headlining tour of the U.S. His latest album, 2018’s The Spirit Of Minnie reached number two in the iTunes Singer Songwriter charts in the UK, number three in Germany and made the top 30 in the US.
