Description

Constantly creative, Marc Almond will release his brand new album Chaos and a Dancing Star on January 31st via BMG. The album was made in collaboration with producer, songwriter and pianist Chris Braide, who also worked on The Velvet Trail. An Ivor Novellowinner and a Grammy nominee, Braides many high profile credits include work with artists such as Sia, Lana Del Rey and Halsey. The duo started writing for the album three years ago, their initial plan for a prog rock album evolving into something leaning more towards strident pop melodies.

The title informs many of the albums themes, and impermanence is also a recurring topic. It emerges in various forms: mortality inBlack Sunrise and Dust, as well as saying farewell and leaving a legacy in Cherry Tree and When The Stars Are Gone. The jaunty Slow Burn Love provides light amongst the darkness, with its hope of finding an ever-lasting love rather than one thats over before you blink your eyes a counterpoint to Marcs common premise that love inevitably proves to be a disappointment.
