Due on September 4, 2026 via Prophecy Productions, the record marks a profound milestone in the career of the iconic British performer, widely regarded as a true pioneer of theatrical and experimental rock.
Deliberately filmed in a vertical, mobile-phone format, the video for ‚Bursting the Bubble‘ is as much a piece of social commentary as it is a musical statement. ARTHUR BROWN uses the visual medium to pose a series of pressing philosophical questions about humanity’s relationship with technology, media bubbles, and the natural world. Balloons draw the viewer’s gaze skyward while feet remain planted on the earth — a metaphor that feels both timeless and urgently contemporary. The video was directed by Marvin Stang.
‚Nature‘ was conceived and developed after ARTHUR BROWN found himself unexpectedly settling in North Yorkshire, close to the ancient fishing town of Whitby — his birthplace — and the resting grounds of his ancestors. The experience proved transformative. Working with producer Isaac McInnis at Crooked Room Studio in York and collaborator DAN SMITH, ARTHUR BROWN wove together environmental field recordings — birdsong, flowing water, wind in the trees — with improvised composition and traditional songcraft.
The album features eight tracks and will be available in a range of premium physical formats, including a limited hardcover 48-page 2CD artbook. ARTHUR BROWN will celebrate the release with a show at Prophecy Fest and has an extensive touring schedule throughout 2026, including dates across the UK, Europe, and Scandinavia.
