Graham Coxon new album produced by Stephen Street

Graham Coxon releases his brand new album "The Spinning Top" on Transgressive Records on May 11.

The album was recorded in London in Spring 2008 and features musical contributions from Robyn Hitchcock and Danny Thompson, amongst others. It was produced by Stephen Street.

A single "Sorrow's Army" will follow a week after the album, on May 18; a limited edition single "In the Morning", available on etched 10" vinyl as part of 'Record Store Day'. will precede the album on April 18.

Graham will be performing at the Transgressive showcase at SXSW, as well as at selected other events within the festival. He also plays with Peter Doherty on his tour later in March. Graham will preview his album with several low key shows in May, with a full solo tour to follow in the autumn.

"The Spinning Top" features 15 brand new tracks and marks something of a departure in sound and feel from previous Graham Coxon solo work. It is also unusual in that the songs follow a narrative – nothing less than the story of a man from birth to death!
