Frederick John Philip Gibson (aka Fred again...) on Friday released his newest album, dubbed Actual Life 3 (January 1 - September 9 2022), and it's way too relatable.

As with the previously released installments, Actual Life (April 14 - December 17 2020) and Actual Life 2 (February 2 - October 15 2021), the British producer is essentially offering fans a listen at his diary, with songs truly reflective of the times in which they were created, not merely inspired by them. The record is made up of voice notes from friends, videos found scrolling Instagram and samples of important records in his own life. Of course, it's no secret, the times reflected in all three albums, including this most recent one, have been some of the strangest ones. And perhaps that's what makes it feel like Fred is reading parts of our own diary at times.

Hear the album now.
