Over the course of two wildly varied and acclaimed EPs, 2019’s *England* and 2021’s *The Valley*, shape-shifting London outfit Famous has forged its own inimitable sound. A sound that subverts pop’s Gospels. A barrage of halcyon melodies, despondent electronics jutting against warming acoustics, and scintillating song structure, all this the singular creative vision of Jack Merrett — Famous’ singer, lyricist, core songwriter and only consistent member — that finds convulsively spectacular expression in their forthcoming debut album, *Party Album*. 

Coming to prominence as a part of the celebrated South-London Brixton Windmill scene alongside Black Country, New Road and Black Midi, the group quickly drew recognition for its boundary-pushing, *post-* post-punk sound. *Jack Saunders* of *BBC* *Radio One* crowned Famous “*the most original band in the UK right now*”, *The Line of Best Fit *called them “*almost unforgivably ambitious”, *and *Antony Fantano* called them “*dope*”. *Dork* gave *The Valley *a resounding 5-star review, declaring it “*as singularly independent and entirely of its own world as anything else you’ll listen to*”.
