4 years on from his wonderfully demented song cycle Foburg, confirmed details of Cathal Coughlan's fifth solo album. His Facebook page has seen more updates these past 24 hours than a hormonal teenager.......
"Cathal Coughlan's fifth album, recorded with the Grand Necropolitan Quartet, is Rancho Tetrahedron, and will be released on Kitchenware Records on August 9, 2010. The album was recorded in various locations in London, California and Ireland, and contains 12 new songs. It was recorded by various people, including Oliver Knights of Turin Brakes (who also sang), Andy Ramsay of Stereolab and Coughlan himself.
Mixing, fittingly, ended in a breezeblock construction, adjoining the freight airport in San Diego, Xmas ‘09. It was freezing cold and, periodically, booming sound-systems would circle the empty parking lot outside. A giant East German flag decorated the wall."
There are also two live dates for now.
September 7th - Bush Hall, London
September 11th - Whelan's, Dublin
Tickets for the Whelan's gig, priced €20, here. Support from the frankly pointless Thread Pulls.
