Faris Badwan of The Horrors, and plenty more besides, has laid down the vocals on the new Hercules & Love Affair single Controller.
“I agreed to work with Andy on the condition that he would take me on a tour of Ghent’s S&M clubs,” Badwan says. “Latex or no latex he was fun to write with – it’s different to stuff I’ve done before and I really enjoyed his way of working. He has a great ear for melody. It was a good deal.”
This single is a precursor to the announcement of Andy Butler‘s next album – expect plenty of the eighties in there when it arrives. “Recently I’ve been aesthetically interested in the raw experimentation of early 80s electronic dance outside the glossier new wave pop music we know from the time,” he explains.
