Badly Drawn Boy has released a new free download EP called ‘It’s What They’re All Thinking’.
Badly Drawn Boy has been quiet of late, choosing to take time away from music. However with his new album on the horizon the Manchester based songwriter has decided to launch himself into a number of new projects.
Recorded earlier this year, ‘It’s What I’m, Thinking Part One – Photographing Snowflakes’ is a reverb draped return from the singer. Badly Drawn Boy has taken inspiration from classic 60s pop, with his songwriter soaked in humour.
A typically charming return, the album is set to be released on October 4th. The same day fans can pick up the new single ‘Too Many Miracles’ which is taken from Badly Drawn Boy’s latest album.
Available on a variety of formats, ‘It’s What I’m, Thinking Part One – Photographing Snowflakes’ will be expanded for a double disc edition. Twisted Nerve boss Andy Votel has supplied a bonus mix, drawing on elements of the new album.
The producer has taken the album, pulled it apart and put it back together again as something radically new. A completely distinct piece of music, the mix is one continuous track.
Meanwhile, Badly Drawn Boy has also invited local songwriters to tackle his material. ‘It’s What They’re Thinking’ is a new version of the forthcoming album, featuring cover versions from unknown talent.
Not content with that, the singer has also compiled a new EP to preview the album. ‘It’s What They’re All Thinking’ is a selection of tracks from the album, and is available to people who sign up to Badly Drawn Boy’s mailing list.
Alongside album previews fans can enjoy demo versions and bonus tracks, which will not be released as part of the complete album.
