Jake Bugg announces new album 'A Modern Day Distraction'

Following on from his much-loved 2021 LP 'Saturday Night, Sunday Morning', Jake Bugg has now announced his plans for a new studio album, arriving later this year.

The new full-length 'A Modern Day Distraction' is being previewed by the new lead single 'Zombieland', which comes accompanied by a stunning Rachael Halaburda-directed video, and is set to be released on the 20th September via RCA Records.

Speaking about the new offering, he said, “It’s fucking brutal, a constant cycle of working to live. They’re not paid what they’re worth. People have the same routine every day, they’re at work more than they see their kids, then the government puts the retirement age up. It’s not right.”
