A video for Hi Hello, the latest track lifted from Johnny Marr‘s upcoming solo record Call The Comet, has been released.
Out on June 15th, the album was laid down in Marr’s own Crazy Face studio in Manchester. “It’s set in the not-too-distant future and is mostly concerned with the idea of an alternative society,” he’s said of it.
“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.”
His touring began in Ireland last week and will take in Leeds and London shows tonight and Wednesday before heading off for mainland Europe and North America.
