Róisín Murphy has shared a new track ahead of her European festival appearances this spring/summer.

Incapable was produced by long-time collaborator DJ Parrot aka Crooked Man, and is described as ‘a little experiment in songwriting’ for her. “I thought it might be fun to write from a point of view totally opposite to the usual heartbreak and despair,” she said.

“This diva is mildly concerned at her own lack of feeling and it’s beginning to dawn on her that there will be no love without pain. When it came to the imagery, for some reason I wanted a huge perm. Perhaps in my mind, a character so untouched by the pain of heartbreak would also have huge mounds of luxurious hair?”

Murphy was at Primavera Sound last weekend, and will be back on the festival circuit next month for appearances which include Stanford Calling.
