Darren Hayman could well be the busiest man in the music industry. Whether it be with Hefner, The Secondary Modern, The French or under his own name, he’s released well over 30 albums over the last three decades.

Originally written after the release of his 2022 album You Will Not Die, Hayman only used a total of three instruments when recording: a drum machine, a Rickenbacker bass and, crucially a Yamaha DX7 synthesiser – an instrument that, as Hayman says, “even its own Wikipedia page describes as outdated and clichéd”.
