Thank You For Almost Everything is Headache's sophomore album, a collaboration between writer and poet Francis Hornsby Clark and music producer Joseph Thornalley, aka Vegyn. This new album follows on the surprise underground success of their debut: The Head Hurts, But The Heart Knows The Truth (released 31 May 2023), released on Vegyn’s own PLZ Make It Ruins label.

The debut record has streamed over 19.4 million times on Spotify alone and sold over 8,000 physical copies worldwide. The debut gained its popularity entirely organically with zero marketing or PR spend. Since its release, Headache has built a dedicated global fanbase, with several fans even going so far as to get lyrics or the project’s logo tattooed.

Thank You For Almost Everything continues the original’s distinct style of Trip-Hop / Downtempo Electronica but combines it with its own unique (and now imitated) AI-voiced spoken word. For this new album, Headache steps away from the hum-drum of Blighty and instead focuses his gaze on sunnier shores. Recalling personal histories of ruffled hair and school cafeterias, ancient unsolved Albionic riddles, Rome’s changing seasons and its poignant graffiti, arguments with girlfriends at luxury hotel beachfront restaurants, and what it truly feels like to be alive in this inscrutable but beautiful world.

The project also features a collaboration with artist Cali Thornhill DeWitt, who returns to design the packaging and cover for this new album. This double 12” vinyl release, like the first, includes the instrumental versions exclusive to the vinyl version. PLZ is also producing a very limited run of 1,000 silver disc colour variants exclusively for Rough Trade (USA & UK), Big Love Records (Japan) and the PLZ Make It Ruins D2C Store.

The album, mixed and mastered by Margo Broom at RAK Studios, will use the same surprise-drop strategy as the first, with both digital and vinyl releases scheduled for 17 October 2025 and an in-person record signing at Big Love Records in Tokyo, Japan, starting on the 18th. Leading up to the release, Headache will debut a new performance at Bali, Indonesia’s Klymax Discoteque. The duo intend for more performances to follow in 2026.

Headache wrote this about their debut set:
Headache presents: In One Ear And Out The Other
For years you sought liberation through spirituality and all you needed was to find the love of your life during the Headache “live” show. Dance slow, dance fast, don’t dance at all. But listen at least to covers of songs you’ve never heard before and beats so relaxing you’ll forget your name and date of birth. Music to dream to, music to disappear to, music to hold hands and lie down to. Thank You For Almost Everything. Headache is the coming together of friends. Enjoy, and remember: no head injury is too trivial to ignore.
