Two homecoming concerts have been announced by Morrissey for July.
The Smiths singer will return to Manchester on July 7th and 8th, playing shows in support of his latest solo album Low In High-School at the Castlefield Bowl.
Last year’s solo LP was released on Morrissey’s own newly formed label Etienne Records in conjunction with BMG after his acrimonious departure from Harvest. “There are not many artists around today that can compare to Morrissey,” Korda Marshall, BMG executive vice President, said.
“He is an extraordinary talent. He is prodigious, literate, witty, elegant and above all, courageous. His lyrics, humour and melodies have influenced many generations. The music on this new landmark record will speak for itself and we are delighted to welcome him to BMG.”
It was recorded at La Fabrique Studios in France and Ennio Morricone’s Forum Studios in Rome with producer Joe Chiccarelli.
