Antony Szmierek releases single 'The Great Pyramid of Stockport' alongside debut album announcement 'Service Station at the End of the Universe'

Antony Szmierek releases a brand new single, ‘The Great Pyramid Of Stockport’. The song’s energetic dance beats provide the perfect backdrop for Szmierek’s knack for storytelling, with an engaging northern narrative and his trademark lyricism delivered with genial charm.

Alongside the new single, he announces his debut album, Service Station at the End of the Universe, a banger-filled, dancefloor-focused debut album scheduled to drop on 28th February via Mushroom Music/Virgin Music Group.

The single is accompanied by an official video that features Antony against the backdrop of Stockport’s pyramid-shaped abandoned shopping plaza, juxtaposed with scenes from the real pyramids of Egypt. Directed by Zac Watson.

“Stockport Council abandoned plans for a Valley of the Kings themed shopping plaza, leaving only an empty pyramid behind. Nobody really knows what the pyramids in Giza are for. What we do know is that we’re not here long, and that the impossible is more possible than we think it is, motivationally speaking. That big blue pyramid serves as a reminder that human beings never really change - even if our pyramids are now by the side of motorways and full of office space.”
