Publicity Department
Old Master

alternative rock / indie rock / indie pop

After making 2023's 'Big Understander' in a studio with a full band, the third Publicity Department album, 'Old Master', sees the project return to the set up of the first record, with Sean Brook handling all the writing, performing and mixing duties. It captures a time where, having moved into a new house, Brook discovered a shed in the garden that had not been mentioned in the listing. This was quickly set up as a makeshift studio and the album was made over a few months in late 2023. It is consequently a move back into more lo-fi, homespun territory, and features a collection of songs variously from the perspective of old men raging at a world they have all but destroyed but no longer understand, and the young people trying to make sense of what’s left.
