Yungblud's next album is influenced by Joy Division and The Smiths.

The 'Funeral' rocker is already working on his fourth record, the follow-up to last week's self-titled LP, and it's influenced by synth pioneers Joy Division and post-punk icons The Smiths.

Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper's WIRED column, Yungblud - whose real name is Dom Harrison - said:
"I’ve already started on album four which has a lot more synths, it’s very Joy Division with a bit of The Smiths, definitely more in that direction"

Stop the press! The uncles and aunts at Morrissey-solo disapprove a young artist who Morrissey hasn't applauded (so far). The guy must be gutted. I just had a listen at Funeral and actually liked it: energetic, catchy, good-looking, genderbending -- not really that different from New York City Dolls 50 years ago.
