No details yet, but Rae Morris is about to release her 2nd album. ICA Tickets on sale tomorrow, 10am.
I saw her on Tue at the Boileroom, Guildford & her new songs played for the first time were fabulous. Some Bjork influenced songs & unexpected arrangements played by a tight knit band were really impressive. The maturity of Rae's songwriting made me feel like she'd skipped a decade from her debut album. I hope the album 'Production' hasn't changed the sounds that much from what I heard the other night.
Heard quite a bit of the new album Denis.

I hope my comment's about 'Production' have had a deft hand, Ewen. I've spoken a couple of times now with, Andy Gangadeen (Rae's musical director), and he has as much admiration as I do for Rae's wonderful talent. I'll be attending the ICA gig with a fellow, Thumpermonkey fan 
That's how broad her appeal is across the ages
