Chris Helme, frontman of John Squire's post-Stone Roses band The Seahorses and acclaimed solo artist, is set to bring a collection of brand new material to audiences for the first time in a decade. Set for release on 29th March 2024, the new album 'World Of My Own' is a diary of a 10-year period in Chris’ life. Weaving between moments of soul-searching darkness and bursts of appreciation, gratitude and lightness, the album speaks to the full spectrum of relationships that colour our lives and the distances that sit between ourselves and others. 'World Of My Own' follows his critically acclaimed 2012 record 'The Rookery'. “Echoing the fragility of Gram Parsons, while flirting with the rustic side of Neil Young” (Uncut), his “dreamy but driven indie folk” (Q Magazine), and blistering voice continue to stop audiences in their tracks. The record has been a long time coming for both Chris and his legion of fans. Lost recordings and stolen guitars, even before Covid shut down the music industry in 2020, are just some of the obstacles that made appearances along the road to its release. But with its lyricism, stirring guitars and rich production, the record is worth the wait.
Chris Helme plays melodic indie folk and acoustic rock infused with classic Britpop sensibilities, known for his work with The Seahorses and acclaimed solo albums like The Rookery.
