Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh reveals plans to release acid house album
Irvine Welsh has confirmed he'll be releasing an acid house album that won't "have your ears bleeding".
Edinburgh-born Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh has revealed to the Scottish Sun that his next venture will be releasing an acid house album.
The novelist and playwright has been slyly dropping new tracks into his DJ sets during his promotional tour for new book Dead Men’s Trousers.
Welsh is planning to have fun with the tracks, and plans to use the album as a "counterblast" against artists who have mastered the art of making music, but not the dancing to go with it.
He'll even provide his makeshift German accent to add some guest vocals to his own music.
Welsh explains, "It’s not really banging, full-on mad stuff, but it’s a lot of classic acid house — swirling effects and noises and boomy basslines. Some of it is pretty groovy. Hopefully people are going to jump around and have a bop, but you’re not going to have your ears bleeding."
He adds, “And you’re not going to want to be stripped to the waist, salivating and banging your head off the floor.”
