Description Summary Paul Draper - Spooky Action (2017) 180g Vinyl 2LP NEW/SEALED SPEEDYPOST Main Description

MANSUN FRONTMAN RELEASES HIGHLY ANTICIPATED DEBUT SOLO ALBUM

"...his artistic flame has been fully reignited." 8.5/10 The Line Of Best Fit

As the frontman and songwriter of one of the most iconic bands of the late '90s, the creative force that brought the classic hit single "Wide Open Space" and the Number 1 album Attack Of The Grey Lantern with Mansun, Paul Draper's talent preceeds him. Mansun's four albums launched the band in to a fervent cult following that has grown and holds an annual convention in the UK in the band's name.

2016 saw Draper's triumphant return with two new EPs to set the Mansun fandom aflame, including industry gatekeepers Steve Lamacq and Chris Hawkins for BBC 6 Music. He was supported further with playlisting on Radio X, a Q Magazine Track Of The Day, NME Track Of The Week, a feature from The Line Of Best Fit, and an exclusive remix from Public Service Broadcasting.

Spooky Action will be released in early August, preceding a sold-out headline UK tour, featuring the glistening synthetic soul single "Things People Want" and warped voodoo psych grat-track "Don't Poke The Bear". Lyrically, it's a biting and brutally honest record – an autobiography set to captivating and addictive melodies. Taking its cue from the two EPs and recorded in collaboration with Catherine AD (The Anchoress) and long time Mansun collaborator P Dub, the record's eleven tracks also veer through genres, from the warped, razored rock'n'rollin "Grey House" to the glorious widescreen analogue pop of "Jealousy Is A Powerful Emotion".  

Spooky Action represents Draper's strongest, most consistent set of songs to date – a lifetime's work condensed into just over an hour of perfectly formed music.  

The album will be released as a double LP pressed to 180g heavyweight audiophile vinyl, and features artwork by SteveStacey, whose previous work includes Calvin Harris, Manic Street Preachers, Circa Waves and Lou Reed.
