LoneLady aka Julie Campbell has announced her forthcoming third album ‘Former Things’, out June 25 via Warp Records. News of Former Things is twinned with the release of the album’s second single Fear Colours, described by Campbell as “an electroscape of funk, crunch and vocoder-ed fear!”

‘Former Things’ is the follow up to acclaimed 2015 album ‘Hinterland’, features 8 tracks including lead single (There Is) No Logic. The album was written, performed and recorded entirely by LoneLady in Somerset House Studios Rifle Range, an 18th century shooting range that has now been adapted into an experimental performance space.

The album was inspired by a seismic move for LoneLady who left her native Manchester, decamping to London’s Somerset House Studios in search of a new cityscape to inspire her poised machine funk.

“I was hungry for a change of scene. Born and bred in Manchester, my home city is like walking around a giant living diary, an archeology of myself, layered with memories. Following meetings with Somerset House Studios Director Marie McPartlin, in June 2016 I moved from Manchester to London to become a Studio member.” explains Lonelady.

“I set up a new studio in ‘The Rifle Range’, an 18th-Century Naval shooting gallery. In this long, narrow concrete room I set up my studio to be part art-installation, part nightclub where I could turn the volume up loud and project Cabaret Voltaire super-8 videos and Ingmar Bergman films across the stone walls. I was located at the dramatic heart of it all, not far from Trafalgar Square and Buckingham Palace – quite a change from my previous studios nestled in the crumbling darklands of Manchester’s outskirts.”
