Frank Turner will release his seventh studio album Be More Kind on May 4th.
“A lot of older, wiser people tend to say things like that, that the things that come out in the wash at the end of a human life are the way you treated the people around you,” Turner says of one of the album’s inspirations – a line from a Clive James poem; ‘I should have been more kind. It is my fate. To find this out, but find it out too late’.
“In the modern world, that’s a lesson that all of us, myself included could do to learn.”
Turner will head out on tour in the UK from April 13th.
