British artist Dave Pen has released "Feedermind," the title track from his upcoming album Life Inside the Feeder Mind, set to drop on October 10. The song reflects Pen’s exploration of a "dark and often confused state of mind," highlighting the pervasive uncertainty of today’s world and serving as a form of sonic therapy. The album, his first since 2021, follows two EPs and showcases his talents in writing, producing, and mixing. Additionally, Pen is an ultra-runner, featured in the documentary Run Again, which captures his participation in a grueling 268-mile race through England.
Given the thematic emphasis on uncertainty and hope in his music, how do you think personal experiences, such as his journey as an ultra-runner, influence the lyrical depth in artists’ work?
