Gary Numan Announces New EP & Live Album
- Written by Marky Edison
Gary Numan has announced the release of The Fallen EP on November 9. It consists of three new tracks ‘It Will End Here’, ‘The Promise’ and ‘If We Had Known’. As well as The Fallen EP, Gary will also release a new live album, Savage, Live At Brixton Academy on the same date. It’s a three disc deluxe album offering consisting of two audio CDs and concert DVD. Gary previously announced a string of UK dates for November 2018 with The Skaparis Orchestra, including a date at the Royal Albert Hall, London which sold out in a few hours.
Numan’s current album Savage: Songs From A Broken World, was released in September last year through BMG and earned the best reviews of Gary’s career. He entered the UK charts at No.2, a fantastic achievement for the iconic and highly influential artist. The British electro pioneer was also awarded the Inspiration Award for songwriting and composition at the Ivor Novellos last year, and has been receiving outstanding live reviews proving that he is on fine form. Now, the tour will take a surprisingly elegant turn when Gary Numan and his band are joined by The Skaparis Orchestra for seven exclusive shows. With orchestral concerts taking place in Cardiff, Birmingham, Newcastle, Manchester, London and Glasgow, the shows will feature songs drawn not only from his highly successful Savage album, but also key songs from his vast back catalogue.
Gary Numan’s music has always had a filmic quality but with The Skaparis Orchestra joining his regular band, that mix of hard electronic and soaring cinematic atmosphere will finally come fully to life. Gary will also be showcasing the most extravagant light show he’s taken on the road for over three decades, designed specifically for these special orchestral performances.
