Frank Turner live at the Victoria Warehouse, Manchester (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
Frank Turner looks ahead to the release of his new album on May 3rd.
Frank Turner has described Girl From The Record Shop – the latest from Undefeated – as, ‘a little power-pop flight of fancy’:
A teenage dream of romance for my inner music nerd, complete with an admission of my inevitable adolescent failure. Short sharp and to the point.
Turner unveiled his next solo record last month, reflecting that there are, ‘no clichés about the difficult 10th album, so in some ways, that’s a liberating statement’.
“But at the same time, I have a duty to justify writing and releasing a 10th album,” he added.
“That’s a lot of records for anybody. Also, I’m 42. Which is not a sexy, rock’n’roll age. But all through my career, I’ve been interested in writers like Loudon Wainwright III or The Hold Steady, people who write about adulthood, essentially.”
