DAWN RICHARD'S ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM 'PIGMENTS' WITH SPENCER ZAHN

Dawn Richard and Spencer Zahn has announced a new collaborative album called Pigments, sharing the four songs of its first movement: “Coral,” “Sandstone,” “Indigo,” and “Vantablack.” The complete project is due out October 21 via Merge. Pigments —a tribute to her father Frank Richard of the funk band Chocolate Milk—Dawn Richard said in a statement: “I felt like the tools that I and other people like me were dealt weren’t shiny. Yet we still painted these beautiful pictures. This album is what it means to be a dreamer and finally reach a place where you’ve decided to love the pigments that you have.”

If there’s one thing Dawn Richard will do is continue to choose her own lane, reinvent numerous sounds and make it hers. Pigments introduces listeners to another facet of Dawn Richard’s and brings Zahn’s creativity to a new audience. The project follows Dawn Richard’s critically acclaimed Merge debut Second Line. Richard and Zahn previously collaborated on the 2018 single “Cyanotype.” Dive into the preview EP below.
