Róisín Murphy has premiered an official video for Something More not long before her fifth solo album Róisín Machine is released on October 2nd.
“My Irish friends often jeer me and say, ‘Oh sure you know Murphy is Italian, aren’t you though Murphy Italiano and all?’. Well who’s laughing now? I couldn’t be more Italian 70s TV segment, feckin multo Classico! Here I am in splendid isolation, in Sebastiano‘s house.”
“A house that is almost part of nature, a near ruin of postmodernity. The pool where Robert Owens learned to swim. Where the amazing track Tomorrow Can Wait was recorded and if I listen to it there I always cry. The house that Baxter Dury moved into with his band to make the seminal HAPPY SOUP. A house of countless parties, after parties and after that parties. The house where I spent month after month lying around pregnant lulled by the song of the cicadas into occasionally recording a song myself, such as Altermate State with Jamie Jones along with a handful more, in the studio there.”
A live gig has also been announced by Murphy, the September 19th, 2021 date at London’s Brixton Academy affording plenty of time for the world to sort itself out.
