Artist News Gigs & Festivals Releases
LoneLady to release first album for six years next month
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 18 May 2021
LoneLady has announced that she will release her third album, ‘Former Things’, next month through Warp. Right now, you can listen to new single ‘Fear Colours’, which she describes as “an electroscape of funk, crunch and vocodered fear”.
Of the making of her first album since 2015’s ‘Hinterland’, and events that took place between the two records, she says: “I was hungry for a change of scene. Born and bred in Manchester, my home city is like walking around a giant living diary, an archeology of myself, layered with memories. Following meetings with Somerset House Studios Director Marie McPartlin, in June 2016 I moved from Manchester to London to become a Studio member”.
“I set up a new studio in ‘The Rifle Range’, an 18th century naval shooting gallery”, she continues. “In this long, narrow concrete room I set up my studio to be part art installation, part nightclub, where I could turn the volume up loud and project Cabaret Voltaire super-eight videos and Ingmar Bergman films across the stone walls. I was located at the dramatic heart of it all, not far from Trafalgar Square and Buckingham Palace – quite a change from my previous studios nestled in the crumbling darklands of Manchester’s outskirts”.
The album is set for release on 25 Jun, and there will be accompanying tour dates in September, October, January and February.
