Graham's 8th studio album in the oven

Exiting fresh news! Graham has new album recorded with his former band from Happiness in magazines and Love travels at illegal speeds era and it is expected to be released soon... He said preferably by the end of summer, though probably it will be delayed a little as he confirmed he doesn't have any record label right now.

He described the sound on his official forum (hold on tight!):


hi all....havent posted for ages...
hope you're all well.

...i have been up to old/new tricks.

2 weeks in the studio...15 tracks done.

i dont know what to say about the new album...its like a night out... terriffic highs... shit trawling lows ...but overall a machinated bleak apocolyptically sonically broken and fucked experience...i am very excited about it.
again a big room full of toys.... and ispirations from the mid 70s and mid 80s...roughly... i have been trying to play like a robot that has water in its wires...resisiting recording/on air red light tension and playing like a painter...notes not important...its vibe vibe vibe...bum notes accidental noise...with no housework afterwards....it really is i think the closest i have got to the noise in my head...ever.

you may sob,get shit scared and dance to this record...all is possible, all at the same time...

we intend to do a little more...around another 2 weeks then....well, thats it.

yum!


-------

well... i'm so close to finishing it now...

what helped...was the two hour burn up on the motorway everymorning on the bike...arriving boggle eyed and nervous...coffee to calm down. and straight head long and reckless into recording...i shunned the nerves...the anxiety to perfect...to plan...and...the result is rough...its easy to hear...tempos fluctuate...and sound flies in from nowhere...and buzzes thru your brain and is gone...
voices thru synths....insane arpeggios...also bombers and submarines lift the soil...fuck ups shivver on the sheets..
that sort of thing....
its a worse place than london.



By his words, it seems it's gonna be such an intense album.

Looking forward for more info!
Stay tuned.
