Róisín Murphy has announced the release of her new album Róisín Machine on September 25th.

Although the record is described as the culmination of a long collaborative partnership between Murphy and Crooked Man – of which we’ve been hearing plenty from during the past year or so – its first single, Something More, was written for Murphy by Amy Douglas. “We met last year at a very interesting talk event in London about the psychology and science of Dub,” she explains.

“We hit it off immediately, I’m afraid we may have heckled the speakers, who happened to have among them Andrew Weatherall! I asked her to write me a song about never being full or satisfied, exponential need. She sent a very basic but brilliant demo very soon after, just her singing and playing a piano. The challenge then is to get the music-direction right, the arrangement and the voicing.”
