WORKING MEN’S CLUB: Between Tension and Euphoria

With “Devout,” Working Men’s Club opens a new chapter. Sydney Minsky Sargeant produced the song together with Atticus Ross. The feverish energy of their earlier releases is still present, but feels more controlled. Instead of tearing everything down, “Devout” leaves more room for tension and euphoria. Sargeant’s lyrics also stand out: the imagery and associations—which were often hard to grasp in the past—now feel more personal and vulnerable. “Devout always felt like the right song for the comeback,” he says. Following *Working Men’s Club* (2020), “Fear Fear” (2022), and his solo album “Lunga,” this is now their first release on Domino. Prior to that, they collaborated with Daniel Avery and Ghost Culture on the EP “Demise of Love.” “Devout” offers a first glimpse into where Working Men’s Club is headed next.
