after almost a year and a half of work i believe i've finished the next album which is probably going to be called PLAY (a word on this title later). i'm hoping to put the album out in may with mute records everywhere in the world except for north america, and in june in north america.
the album has 18 songs which are:
HONEY
FIND MY BABY
PORCELAIN
WHY DOES MY HEART FEEL SO BAD?
SOUTH SIDE
RUSHING
BODYROCK
NATURAL BLUES
MACHETE
7
RUN ON
DOWN SLOW
IF THINGS WERE PERFECT
EVERLOVING
INSIDE
GUITAR FLUTE & STRING
THE SKY IS BROKEN
MY WEAKNESS
the first european single was HONEY which came out last autumn. the next european single is going to be RUN ON which comes out in april. for north america i think we're going to put out a promotional single combining HONEY and RUN ON with some of the remixes and b-sides. i'll, hopefully, be touring throughout 1999 with plans to go to europe (east & west), north america, australia, new zealand, japan, and possibly south america.
i guess that's it for now. i'd like to say a special thank you to all of the people who've created, maintained, and contributed to the various web-sites and newsgroups.
why PLAY? i wanted a nice short title and i was walking by a playground near my house and there was a giant mural that said PLAY. for some reason this appealed to me (also because everytime i look at a vcr or cd player or tape deck i see this word. it's hard to refuse a word that's followed me around so much), and so that's why the album is called PLAY. there are some other more esoteric reasons, but i'll tell you about them later.
thanks,
