12 October 2026 – Rex Orange County Announces Dream Fatigue and Releases Grandma Song Ahead of November Album

British singer-songwriter Rex Orange County has announced his next studio album, Dream Fatigue, arriving November 6, and introduced the project with a new single titled "Grandma Song." The announcement marks his first full-length release in just over two years and continues the musical journey of Alexander O'Connor, whose distinctive combination of indie pop, jazz-influenced arrangements and emotionally direct songwriting has attracted a dedicated international audience.

The new album contains twelve tracks, including "Penelope," "Handsome," "Hannah Montana," "Iron Man," "Boyfriend" and the title track. Particularly interesting are the announced collaborations with Brendan Yates on "Elvis," Mustafa on "The Colosseum" and Daniel Caesar on "Indecision." Those guest appearances suggest a record willing to explore different musical personalities while remaining firmly rooted in O'Connor's signature songwriting style.

"Grandma Song" is available now on major streaming platforms, providing listeners with their first opportunity to investigate this latest creative chapter. The announcement follows a busy summer that included acclaimed appearances at London's All Points East and Village Underground, alongside a guest performance with Tyler, the Creator and Ravyn Lenae involving "Boredom."

Rex Orange County has always been particularly effective at transforming ordinary emotional observations into songs that feel unexpectedly personal and universal. His best material often sounds like somebody accidentally left a microphone running during a conversation they probably intended to keep private. Dream Fatigue promises another opportunity to explore that approach when it arrives on November 6.
