Drowned In Sound founder announces new podcast and singles club
By Chris Cooke | Published on Tuesday 17 January 2023
Drowned In Sound founder Sean Adams has announced the launch of a new podcast and singles club, with the first release from the latter coming from Pins vocalist Faith Vern in her solo guise as The Faux Faux.
Adams paused the website side of Drowned In Sound back in 2019, although the popular forums continued to operate and Adams himself still recommended music via social media and an email bulletin. He confirmed yesterday that the new podcast and singles club would launch under the Drowned In Sound banner next month.
In a message to subscribers, he wrote: “I’m writing to you today to confirm that Drowned In Sound is back, in pod form. Or to less Simpsons paraphrasing, as an ‘audio publication’ (podcast) and record label”.
On the latter, he went on, “the first release on the label will be the debut solo single by Faith Vern from DiS-favourites Pins under the solo guise of The Faux Faux. The first single will be out on 7 Feb and I’ll tell you more about it nearer the time. There will then be a single a month for ten months”.
The new podcast, he added, “will be conversations with some of my favourite artists about their creative world alongside platforming a mixture of activists and agitators trying to fix the music industry and/or society and/or the planet, as well as exploring how sound impacts the brain and body”.
“The feed will hopefully feel more like flicking through a magazine”, he continued, “with short bits and long bits, big names and big ideas from people you might never have heard of otherwise”.
