After briefly reteaming with Bernard Butler to release an album in 2005 as The Tears, Brett Anderson is back this year with his first official "solo" album. Supposedly, this time he has taken on all of the songwriting duties himself and the songs I've heard so far tend to support the notion that Brett is reaching out beyond Brit-pop or indie rock and towards a sound that is much more about (melo)dramatic and fragile emoting. This is a notion familiar to fans of Suede (some of the new material sounds like some songs from Sci-Fi Lullabies with strings and keys in place of guitar) but there's a definite new approach to the few tracks I've heard so far. It's obviously a rather personal record for Anderson and I, for one, am very excited to hear the whole thing once the March 26th release date roles around. Until then, enjoy the tracks below.
Listen:
"Love Is Dead"
"To The Winter"
Listen to another track, and read a nice write-up on this record, over at Obscure Sound.
