Peter Murphy is preparing to release his 10th solo album Lion on June 3rd. The album was produced by Youth, who has been pretty busy lately with projects such as the forthcoming Echo & the Bunnymen album Meteorites, among other things. Murphy unveiled the first taste of Lion: the new song "Hang Up," is about people being annoying on their cellphones, which we can all pretty much relate to. Check out the excellent new track and video over at the AV Club.
Pre-orders for Lion kick off on April 8th, plus stay tuned for something "exciting" to launch on April 7th.
Something exciting is going to be launched on Monday. Keep your eyes peeled for more information…
