Gary Numan returns with the new album, Splinter, this autumn. The follow up to 2011's Dead Son Rising is expected out October 14th, and according to Numan, wall-of-electronic noise, orchestral strings, slower velocity anthems, and other new sounds and ideas are included on the album. Splinter was produced by Ade Fenton and features ex-NIN guitarist Robin Finck. More info on the album including details on the release of the first single are expected to be announced shortly.
Numan also announced dates for a tour of the U.K. to follow Splinter's release. More dates are expected to be announced soon, so let's hope some North American dates are in the offing. Numan's confirmed tour dates are listed below and more details are posted on the official website.
