Peter Murphy is set to return with a new studio album soon. Murphy's 10th studio album, Lion, was produced by Youth, and is expected out in the coming months. According to a report in Exclaim! Murphy's manager announced the new album and played a preview video with song samples from Lion before Murphy took the stage at his show in Vancouver on July 20th. An official release date for Lion was not announced.
Peter Murphy wraps up his Bauhaus 35th anniversary Mr. Moonlight tour in North America this week. He'll return to Mexico for a one-off show in August before heading to South America for the tour's conclusion. Reviews of most of Murphy's gigs have been very positive, though it's worth noting that some critics almost seemed disappointed they didn't see the disheveled-March 2013-mug-shot-version of the Bauhaus legend.
