LoneLady Sets June Release For Third Album 'Former Things', Shares New Track Fear Colours
Monday, 17 May 2021
LoneLady, aka Julie Campbell, has announced her third album.
The follow-up to 2015's 'Hinterland' is called 'Former Things' and will arrive on June 25 via Warp Records.
The LP's eight tracks were penned, performed and recorded entirely by Campbell at Somerset House Studios Rifle Range, an 18th century shooting range in London that's been adapted into a performance space. She said:
"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 archaeology 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."
