“Asbestos Roof” is the latest single from New Starts, a new band featuring former Hefner frontman Darren Hayman. As it turns out, New Starts is a fitting name for the band, as Hayman made a conscious decision to be open and collaborative and to take a different approach when making the album (or a new start, if you will), essentially employing the George Costanza strategy of doing the opposite of what your instincts tell you to do. As Hayman explains,

“Even though I wrote all the songs, I wanted the songs to belong to everyone during arrangement. I decided that I would say ‘yes’ to every suggestion from the band, regardless of my instinct.”

New Starts’ debut album More Break-up Songs is due out on August 16 via Fika Recordings. Check out the video for “Asbestos Roof” below.
