LoneLady announces first album in six years with new single "Fear Colours"

17 May 2021, 12:01 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

LoneLady has returned with news of her third album Former Things, and has unveiled new track "Fear Colours" to accompany the announcement.

After releasing her first single of the year "(There Is) No Logic" back in March, LoneLady has announced her first album in six years, Former Things, and has shared a second track titled "Fear Colours", which LoneLady describes as "an electroscape of funk, crunch and vocoder-ed fear!"

Former Things is entirely written performed and recorded by LoneLady at Somerset House Studios' Rifle Range, and will follow her 2015 album Hinterland.

LoneLady says of the album, "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. 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-8 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."

Tracklist:

  1. The Catcher
  2. (There Is) No Logic
  3. Former Things
  4. Time Time Time
  5. Threats
  6. Fear Colours
  7. Treasure
  8. Terminal Ground
"Fear Colours" is out now. LoneLady's Former Things album will be released via Warp on 25 June, and is available to pre-order now.
