New albums from Antony & The Johnsons, The-Dream and Cooly G announced
The-Dream (or Terius Nash) is releasing new album ‘Love IV MMXII’, the follow up to the 1977 tape he put out last year. The already much delayed album now has a fixed release date of August 14th, and will be coming out on Def Jam. No full tracklist as yet, but apparently the previously released ROC and Kill The Lights (below) have made the cut.
As well as running the Southbank Centre, Antony Hegarty is releasing an album with his Johnsons called ‘Cut The World’ on 6th August 2012. Recorded with excellent modern classical composer Nico Muhly in Denmark, as promo, there’s a stream of a lecture he gave at one of his recent concerts on “future feminism”.
In other album news, Cooly G, the London producer who has been important in drawing the dots between house and funky, and has released on Hyperdub and DVA Music, as well as her own Dub Organizer series, is releasing her debut full length album on Hyperdub this summer. Titled ‘Playin’ Me’, it will be out on July 17th. It includes Trouble, which apparently is a cover of the Coldplay song of the same name. Thanks to Resident Advisor for bringing this to our attention.
