CHNNLL recently released his latest full-length album, The Test. This is the work of the multi-talented musician Chris Davidson.

The album's lead single, "Kill The Messenger", is accompanied by the video below. Of the single, Davidson had this to say; "I wrote this song in my Chicago apartment during quarantine. It was the happiest and saddest time of my life - my daughter was born, then my mom suffered a massive stroke a few months later. Lockdown was stressful, but it forced a great deal of reflection. I realized life is a series of ‘tests’, and we’re all just trying to do our best, we’re all just trying to ‘make the grade’.”

You can help CHNNLL celebrate the release of his album on September 18th at Downstairs (at Subt).
