Felix Clary Weatherall (a.k.a Ross From Friends) has shared a new track from Family Portrait, his upcoming debut album, scheduled for July 27 release via Brainfeeder. 

Family Portrait is the culmination of almost two years of intense studio time, working 20 hour days, and often spending months perfecting just one aspect of a track. “I tried to be careful with every single sound,” Felix explains, “Trying new things, making a bit more of an explosive sound”. The album also finds Clary Weatherall recording his own voice for the first time, with the resulting tracks acting as snapshots of his personal life while recording. “Every time I went to make music the things which would really grab me are the emotional things, and while I’’m in that place I felt I could really focus on the track. That was a massive part of this album, tapping into my emotions… into my emotional instability.”
