FORMER Suede frontman and king of camp, Brett Anderson, returns with his debut solo single and album this month.
Single ‘Love Is Dead’ will be released on March 12 on Drowned In Sound, with album a self-titled solo album released March 26.
Coinciding with three London live dates – which feature his impressive band and sold out within five minutes earlier this month – it’s taken from the keenly anticipated, self-titled solo LP, March 26.
Available on CD1, CD2 and 7” vinyl, it boasts four striking and highly collectible B-sides. CD1 includes the track ‘Clowns’, CD2 features ‘We Can Be Anyone’ & ‘Mother Night’, while the 7” vinyl contains the stunning ‘Elegant’.
"'Love Is Dead' is one of those rare songs that you manage to write every ten years that explains how you feel in exactly the right way," said Brett.
"The last time that happened was with 'Trash' ten years ago. It seems right that it should happen again now."
The impressive new video was directed by Russell Thomas, whose previous credits include; Placebo, Coldplay and Sarah McClachlan.
Bristling with angular acoustics and supple strings, the album is an arsenal of songs for an unsettled world. Highlights include the emotive, soul-baring 'Song For My Father' the smouldering, melodic 'Scorpio Rising' and the defiantly catchy ‘One Lazy Morning’.
