The reclusive and now very much bearded Paddy McAloon returns next month with a brand-new Prefab Sprout album entitled Crimson/Red. The 10-track Crimson/Red is due out Oct. 7 in the U.K., and it’s the sophistipop act’s first since the 2009 release of Let’s Change the World With Music, a collection that actually had been mostly recorded in the early ’90s as an aborted follow-up to Jordan: The Comeback. So it’s really the first new Prefab Sprout music since The Gunman and Other Stories in 2001. [Source]
