Cherry Red Records is delighted to announce the release of the brand new solo 7” single from Luke Haines (The Servants, The Auteurs, Baader Meinhof & Black Box Recorder). The 7” single features the title track from Luke’s forthcoming album with two exclusive non-album B-Sides ‘Natural Mystic Furry Freak’ and John Barleycorn Must Die’. The album ‘Rock And Roll Animals’ follows a fortnight later on 29th July and will be released on CD, download and limited edition 12” vinyl. Rock And Roll Animals is a psychedelic story for grown-ups (and children). Jimmy Pursey is a frisky fox; Nick Lowe – a solid badger and Gene Vincent – a cat who’s seen a bit more of life than most of us. Three furry freaks. Three Rock n Roll animals. The fable of our four-pawed shamen is narrated by the good folk of Magic Town. This is a story of righteous rock n roll and how our three rock n roll animal friends, when not frolicking in the undergrowth, do battle with their most unrighteous nemesis – a fuck ugly bird (from Tyneside) made of steel and wire called The Angel Of The North. The album will coincide with the selected UK cinema release of the feature-length documentary film ‘Art Will Save The World’ about Luke Haines by Niall McCann. [Source]
