The Sexual Objects are set to release their new album ‘Cucumber’ on November 22nd.
Davy Henderson is very much an unheralded figure in Scottish music. As the lead singer with The Fire Engines he helped ignite the post-punk movement, recording a string of blazing singles.
Mixing funk, punk, radical politics and more The Fire Engines were like the dissonant cousins of Orange Juice. Splitting after a handful of releases, Davy Henderson then formed Nectarine No.9 who became cult heroes.
Working for more than a decade together, Nectarine No.9 releasing a string of acclaimed albums. Now Davy Henderson has formed a new group, with The Sexual Objects set to release their debut album.
Working with a number of guests, The Sexual Objects previously released a series of singles which are due to be collected on ‘Cucumber’. ‘Full Penetration’, ‘Merrie England‘, ‘Queen City of the 4th Dimension’ and more are joined by ‘Here Come The Rubber Cops’ – produced by none other than Boards Of Canada.
The legendary Warp duo add a sophisticated sonic touch to ‘Here Come The Rubber Cops’. Already a collectors item, the single helped to bring more attention to the work produced by The Sexual Objects.
Recorded over the space of 12 months, The Sexual Objects aimed to capture the raw, ragged energy of The Move or The Modern Lovers.
Due to be released on November 22nd, ‘Cucumber’ will be followed by a series of tour dates. Opening on November 10th in London, The Sexual Objects will finish the short burst of shows in Glasgow.
The Sexual Objects have confirmed the following shows:
