Johnny Marr has released a video for The Tracers, his lead single from new solo album Call The Comet.
Described as his ‘own magic realism’, the LP was recorded during sessions at his Crazy Face studio in Manchester, and will be released on June 15th. “It’s set in the not-too-distant future and is mostly concerned with the idea of an alternative society,” he added.
“The characters in the songs are searching for a new idealism, although there are some personal songs in there too. It’s something that people like me can relate to.”
