Medium Build: King of Having Fun with Ken Yates

Medium Build’s Nick Carpenter never planned for a career as a singer-songwriter to take him to great heights, but his razor-sharp and fearlessly reflective tunes, electrifying performances, and acerbic wit carried him there. Now, on the heels of his breakthrough 2024 album Country, comes King of Having Fun, Medium Build’s most cohesive, extroverted, and joyful record yet, made live in a studio with his closest friends and collaborators. Fueled by a fresh rock and roll energy paired with his familiar lo-fi-meets-indie-and-country sound, the album is driven by biting lyrical insight and self-examination, following Carpenter’s own journey through fame, recovery, and rediscovering joy. Joined by special guest Ken Yates.
