LoneLady returns with her first new track in four years

24 October 2014, 16:10 | Written by Laurence Day

LoneLady - AKA Julie Campbell - has returned to her solo guise after a lengthy stint sessioning for other acts.

"Groove It Out" is Campbell's first new material in four years, and it'll get itself a 12" release 17 November on Warp before the next LoneLady LP is released early 2015.

The new album was mostly recorded on a Tascam 8-track in isolation, but there were finishing touches at an "Aladdin's cave of vintage analogue treasures" somewhere in the US.

Campbell has said of the analogue studio:

“I traveled there in October '13 and again during the 'Polar Vortex' freeze that descended on the States in January '14. Both trips were real adventures, injecting the final phase of album making with a renewed energy. I found it a totally sympathetic environment to be in and found a shared aesthetic in Bill (Skibbe, co-producer); I knew he'd sensitively aid the finishing of the songs and not impose on or disrupt their character. We'd often dig out Youtube clips for the other to enjoy; these exchanges included 'Sharevari' at The Scene, George Clinton's 'Loopzilla', John Carpenter's 'Assault On Precinct 13' and many more.''

Check out "Groove It Out" below.

"Groove It Out" is to be released 17 November on Warp.
