Richard Hawley will release the single ‘Leave Your Body Behind You’ on 7″ vinyl as part of his new Singles Club in time for next month’s Record Store Day.
The first to be taken from Hawley’s new album ‘Standing At The Sky’s Edge’, ‘Leave Your Body Behind You’ will be available as a one-track download on April 2nd, with the the vinyl being released exclusively to independent record shops via the Richard Hawley Singles Club on April 21st.
“So much damage has been done to this world by people who get all their knowledge from one book – be it The Bible or whatever,” Hawley has said of the themes behind his new single.
“If we could just allow ourselves to be liberated by the fact that this is our only time here, we could just get on with what really matters. I really think we could have put a man on the moon 1,000 years ago if we accepted that.”
Its parent LP, ‘Standing At The Sky’s Edge’, was recorded in Hawley’s home city Sheffield, and will be released on 7th May.
In support of the album, Richard Hawley will perform at the No Direction Home and Latitude festivals on June 10th and 14th respectively. He will also play a headline gig at the London HMV Forum on June 8th.
