Ex-Savages bandleader Jehnny Beth has announced a new album. Out August 29 via Fiction Records, You Heartbreaker, You follows her 2020 solo debut To Love Is to Live and is led by the single “Broken Rib.” Watch the song’s accompanying music video, which Beth co-directed with longtime collaborator Johnny Hostile and filmed in Fiction’s label offices, below.
“I knew I wanted to make an aggressive sound and for the record to start with a scream on the song ‘Broken Rib,’” Beth said in an interview with NME. “This is how I felt: the world was broken, I was broken, but it’s not a sad thing. How can a song recompose those fragments? Is it like a Frankenstein beast? I’m not trying to polish it or hide it.” She last shared Utopian Ashes, a collaborative LP with Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie, in 2021.
