Edwyn Collins has announced that he is to release a new album Nation Shall Speak Unto Nation on 14th March. Anyone who reads his social media posts will agree that he is a good man for the job.
It is his first album since 2019's Badbea and a video has been released of the song Knowledge (see below) where he looks back at being shy and awkward as a youngster. It is very good.
Needless to say this has had me scrabbling through the previous albums and songs that I have.
Here's a couple:
Edwyn Collins - The Campaign For Real Rock
I saw this video last week and had so many mixed emotions. While it's amazing that he's recovered enough to be making music like this again, I also felt sad for everything he's been through.
ReplyDeleteHe seems quite content
DeleteMoving video that and a lovely song to boot
ReplyDeleteAs you might imagine, I'm looking forward to this album. The tune has many reminders of songs of the later non-Postcard Orange Juice era....and the video is incredibly poignant. Wonderful stuff.
