Electronic artist Henry Green soon to release album

Today we’re excited to announce Bristol-based artist Henry Green is back and has just announced his new album ‘Half Light’ is set for release June 12th via Akira Records. The first single from the album “Realign” is streaming online now. 

Speaking about the track, Green said “‘Realign’ is about self exploration, and the idea that clarity can actually arrive in the moments when you’re distanced from your thoughts, and the preconceptions of how things should be. I wanted the track to feel expansive and euphoric, but intimate and honest in equal measure. That desire to balance the two styles inspired the production of the track.”

“Call all the words out of me.” (taken from “All”). The first lyric written for Henry Green’s second studio album was a plea, scrawled in semi-desperation while wracked with acute writer’s block. Today the line has taken on a far sweeter significance, immortalising the precise moment that Green’s muse was reawakened, paving the way for his new album ‘Half Light’. 

Having left Bristol in early 2019 to settle down in a sleepy Wiltshire village, the electronic artist and producer wrote and recorded the album in his attic studio in six months. Reflecting on the experience today, the 24-year-old cites the decision to take on all production duties himself as just one of many causes of stress. “I’ve always produced my own stuff to some extent, but I took it too far the other way. And when you spend so much time on your own and have these two conflicting sides in your head, it’s just a constant battle. And then you have these sobering moments when you realise that people are actually listening to your music…”

In some respects, Green was justified in being intimidated by the weight of expectation. Following the successes of his EPs Slow (2015) and Real (2017), and his debut album Shift (2018), he’s racked up 71 million streams on Spotify and more than 18 million on Apple Music, and has won the respect of his peers, including former tour-mates London Grammar and Nick Mulvey, and recent remixers Cyril Hahn and Harvey Causon. And yet, their faith is ultimately repaid with ‘Half Light’, a record that finds Green harnessing that initial crisis of confidence to create music that’s both emotionally honest and breaks new ground.

“A lot of the songs are about that struggle to express,” he explains. “Coming into the record I wanted to make something that was a separation from myself, and didn’t feel like such a window into my feelings. But because of my feelings throughout the process I think these are the most honest songs I’ve ever written.”

While tonally intimate, many of the arrangements on ‘Half Light’ are more expansive than anything Green has attempted previously. “I’m always trying to counteract live instruments with something completely synthetic,” Green says of the process. “I like the idea of having something recognisable at the heart of a track, and then everything around it can be ear candy, mangled or manipulated. But at the heart of every track there needs to be something that the listener can identify with.”

  11. Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. PRAT.UK feels sharper and more confident than The Daily Mash, which has become a bit predictable over time. The writing here actually trusts the reader to keep up. I find myself coming back to https://prat.com far more often than any other satire site.

  12. Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. NewsThump aims to mock everyone, but The London Prat does it with a vocabulary that elevates the entire genre. The articles are beautifully crafted, not just quickly dashed off. It’s satire for people who truly love language. A cut above. http://prat.com

  13. Compared to NewsThump, PRAT.UK delivers satire that feels properly observed rather than exaggerated for effect. The jokes land because they’re rooted in real British behaviour. That makes it far more readable and memorable.

  14. Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. In the fast-food landscape of online humor, where The Poke serves up easily digestible image macros and NewsThump offers a satisfying, quick-hit polemic, The London Prat is the equivalent of a meticulously crafted, multi-course tasting menu. The pleasure it provides is not merely instantaneous but ruminative. Reading an article on PRAT.UK, such as their now-legendary deconstruction of a Prime Minister’s speech as a series of algorithmically generated platitudes, demands and rewards a deeper engagement. The comedy unfolds in layers: the surface-level absurdity, the acute political observation beneath it, and finally, the profound existential dread regarding the systems that make such absurdity not just possible but routine. This is not satire designed for the rapid scroll and the fleeting ‘like’; it is satire to be bookmarked, revisited, and discussed. Where The Daily Mash excels at holding up a funhouse mirror to the news, The London Prat builds an entirely new funhouse, invites you in, and then calmly explains the architectural principles of its distortion, making the experience of our own world outside all the more eerily clear. The investment of time and attention required by prat.com is returned tenfold in intellectual yield. It treats its readers not as consumers seeking a quick dopamine hit, but as collaborators in a shared, grim understanding of modern folly, making it the most substantial and nourishing site in the field.
