18 June The new Raise the Roof EP is out now, download from "iTunes Tracklisting 1. Raise the Roof 2. The Book of Love 3. Raise the Roof (Beyond the Wizard’s Sleeve Re-animation) 4. Smoke and Mirrors May 16th Out Of The Woods available now at HMV and iTunes 11 track LP on iTunes Special 12 track with digi booklet on iTunes Raise the Roof has been released as a single and I think is finally available from iTunes in the US - sorry for the delay there my friends across the water, don't quite know what happened, but still, better late than never, eh? Meanwhile, various mixes of Grand Canyon are out there in the clubs - no definite commercial release plans yet, but I will let you know as the plot develops. I am putting up the Ada mix of the track first, but I will be adding others later - hope you like. The new album, Out Of The Woods, is my first solo project since A Distant Shore (1982) and features me working with a few different producers/collaborators, to come up with a record that (I hope) is a true reflection of who I am right now and what I love right now. There's some serene techno emptiness from Martin Wheeler (Vector Lovers), a bit of modernist heartbreak house from Alex Santos, an amazing pastoral arrangement of flutes and flugels by Charles Webster.. I've done 2 songs with cagedbaby (Tom Gandey) one a kind of shimmery piece of Scritti Politti-style pop called Raise the Roof, and the other a downtempo lament about gay teenagers getting bullied at school, called A-Z. But my main collaborator/producer is Ewan Pearson, and we've done seven tracks together. A cover of Arthur Russell's Get Around To It, featuring some wonky freakout sax from Gabe of The Rapture. A new song called It's All True, co-written with Sasse and Darshan Jesrani (Metro Area), which is pure early 80's New York dance pop. A piano ballad which Ewan says sounds like "The Carpenters on acid". Also a cover of King's Cross by the Pet Shop Boys, which isn't on the actual album (had too many songs!), but is available as a bonus track downloadable from iTunes. The video for It's All True was directed by Si and Ad, and features a heavily stylised monochromatic dance routine, in which I feature almost invisibly....(which suits me just fine). The video for Raise the Roof was directed by Eduard Grau.. luv T xx |
