about

"Popular People" is the 1st single from The Prophet Hens' 2nd album "The Wonderful Shapes of Back Door Keys" which is due out in June/July on Fishrider Records www.fishriderrecords.com and, in the UK/ Europe Occultation Recordings www.occultation.co.uk

Bassist Robin Cederman wrote "Popular People" sitting in the sun at his old flat on York Place in Dunedin and seeing a copy of The Prophet Hens’ first record on the coffee table. If it’s about anything, then it's about the things people are willing to do - and the situations they end up in - to achieve their goals.

Just to confuse everyone, "Popular People Do Popular People" - their 1st album, from which this new single gets its title, is also being (re-)issued on LP at the same time as their new album comes out.
