Henge

Description

Gus Dapperton has always been obsessed with building new worlds. Its been part of his passion since he started making songs in Garageband, a creators mindset that eventually shaped two independent albums of defiantly original alt-pop. Now signed to Warner Records, Dapperton goes even further on his new project, Henge, immersing himself in bold details and immersive songwriting to conjure a twilight world that permanently hovers between sunset and sunrise throughout 11 mercurial songs

While the scope of Henge is vast and ambitious, Dappertons music maintains the intimacy that made his previous offerings so resonant. At its core, the album is a way of processing a post-lockdown world. I think most people can relate to wanting change and chaos, but also monotony and protection, he says of the albums tug-of-war between night and day, socializing and solitude. Im always internally battling those two sides.
