Robbing Millions announces new album on MGMT RECORDS (!) | new single 'Camera' out now
Robbing Millions, the project of Belgian avant-pop musician Lucien Fraipont, has announced today the release of his second album, Holidays Inside, via MGMT Records, in collaboration with [PIAS].
The album was borne out of Fraipont’s creative compulsion, who, after having amassed a volume of music from constant writing and recording, enlisted producer Shags Chamberlain (Weyes Blood, Ash Ra Tempel) to help arrange his material into a cohesive release. Holidays Inside embraces the joy of creation through pure eclecticism, offering welcome surprises around every corner in a way that can’t help but bring a smile to your face. You can listen to the album’s first single, the stomping astral fantasia “Camera,” HERE. Pre-order & final album details to follow soon.
Holidays Inside is the first outside release for MGMT’s Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser’s label, which has previously released only the duo’s own material. “Lucien has achieved that rare balance of experimentation, technical proficiency, and extreme catchiness that makes for a truly exciting and surprising pop music listening experience,” VanWyngarden states while explaining why Holidays Inside made for such a great fit for the new imprint. “There’s lots of unexpected melodies, but not in a contrived way. Those qualities made Robbing Millions seem like an obvious fit for an MGMT Records release.“
Indeed, expect the unexpected on Holidays Inside.
