Edwyn Collins announces new album
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 15 June 2010
Brilliant news, now. Edwyn Collins has announced details of his seventh solo album, the first written since the musician suffered two brain haemorrhages in 2005. ‘Losing Sleep’ will be released by Heavenly Recordings on 13 Sep and features collaborations with Johnny Marr, former Aztec Camera man Roddy Frame, Alex Kapranos and Nick McCarthy of Franz Ferdinand, Romeo Stodart of The Magic Numbers, Ryan Jarman of The Cribs, and The Drums.
Following his life threatening illness, Collins went through intensive rehabilitation before returning to the stage less than two years later in October 2007’s BBC Electric Proms. However, it was another year before the desire to write new music returned. When it did, he and producer Sebastian Lewsley began work on what would become ‘Losing Sleep’ at Collins’ own West Heath Studios.
Collins has just announced a number of live shows for August and September, including a headline show at Queen Elizabeth Hall on London’s Southbank on 23 Sep.
The full tracklist for the new album is as follows:
Losing Sleep
What Is My Role? (co-written with Ryan Jarman)
