Graham Coxon Graham Coxon will release his seventh solo album, following 1998's 'The Sky Is Too High', 2000's 'The Golden D', 2001's 'Crow Sit on Blood Tree', 2002's 'The Kiss of Morning', 2004's 'Happiness in Magazines' and 2006's 'Love Travels at Illegal Speeds' (phew!), on 11th May.

'The Spinning Top' will be released through Transgressive Records', and was recorded in London last year. It was produced by Stephen Street.

The first single to be taken from the album will be 'In The Morning', which will be released on limited edition etched 10" vinyl on 18th April. Second single 'Sorrow’s Army' will follow the album on 18th May.

Graham commented: "The album is mainly an acoustic journey although there is, of course, some explosive electric guitar action. I wanted to show how exciting acoustic instruments can be, how dynamic and rich and heart-thumpingly raw they can sound at a time when acoustic music seems either too cute or too soppy. Obvious influences here are the amazing Martin Carthy, the late, great Davey Graham and the late, great John Martyn.”

“There are some guests too! Robyn Hitchcock supplies some counter-attack guitar, Jas Singh plays dilruba and jori with his friends Gurjit Sembhi on taus and Jaskase Singh on esraj. Danny Thompson plays the legendary Victoria, Graham Fox gives plenty of swing on the drums and sizzle cymbals and Louis Vause tinkles the ivories.”

“My friend Lucy supplies the voice of the wife and Natasha marsh channels the voice of the Medea-like enchantress”.
