The Blow Monkeys – Together/Alone
New Single & Album
Sophisti-pop legends The Blow Monkeys announce the release of their brand new album Together/Alone in May 2024. Lead single Stranger To Me Now is released this Friday 16 February. Frontman Dr Robert describes the album process, noting Bob Dylan quote “I was born here and I’ll die here…against my will” as a key starting point in the themes of the project:
“If we are lucky, we get to spend time with loved ones along the way. It’s about the journey not the destination. It’s taken a lifetime for me to understand that.”
Musically the album embraces simplicity while keeping their sound distinctively infectious and made for a crowd:
“Musically we wanted something stripped down …raw and funky. Can’t wait to get out and play it to people, the communion with audience where just for a moment we all become one”
The Blow Monkeys are set for a busy year with tours across the UK, US and parts of Europe in the works. They play throughout England in March/April and are preparing for their first US tour in 30 years in May.
The new 12 track album Together/Alone is released in May by Last Night From Glasgow and is available on two shades of coloured marbled vinyl, CD and digital. Further singles and an official album release date will be announced shortly
