New Music From David J

A new album from David J (Bauhaus, Love and Rockets) entitled Tracks From the Attic Revisited is confirmed for release on May 22, 2026 from Independent Project Records (IPR). The first single from the album, “If Muzak Be the Junk Food of Love,” is at radio now.

Reshaped, sometimes rewritten, and now reinterpreted with a full band, the ten tracks that make up Tracks From the Attic Revisited are culled from the 37(!)-track home recordings on Tracks From the Attic released in 2024, also from IPR. Uncovered from boxes of tapes collected through decades, these old demos called for a second life. Eagerly reshaped, sometimes rewritten, and elegantly reinterpreted with a full band, the ten tracks that make up Tracks from the Attic Revisited are an arresting distillation of David J’s eclectic taste: from the influence of late ‘70s New Wave to a lifelong love of country and Nick Drake-like romanticism. Where the original recordings invited listeners to be present in the room as a young singer-songwriter found his own way (wandering in the fields of experimentation and collecting the meanderings that followed), the new album puts listeners in front of an artist who has honed his craft and mastered the art of pruning. “The demos were like neglected little seeds that had been set aside, or fallen on fallow land,” David J reflects. “They’ve been gathered up, nurtured, tended and brought back to life as little buds. Now this is the bloom.”
