Gary Numan is back with the title track and music video from his forthcoming album, Intruder.
After announcing his latest LP, set for a May 21st release, last week, the singer premiered the track and its accompanying visual.
Gary explains: “Intruder looks at climate change from the planet’s point of view. If Earth could speak, and feel things the way we do, what would it say? How would it feel?
“The songs, for the most part, attempt to be that voice, or at least try to express what I believe the earth must feel at the moment.
“The planet sees us as its children now grown into callous selfishness, with a total disregard for it’s well being. It feels betrayed, hurt and ravaged. Disillusioned and heartbroken it is now fighting back. Essentially, it considers human kind to be a virus attacking the planet.
“Climate change is the undeniable sign of the Earth saying enough is enough, and finally doing what it needs to do to get rid of us, and explaining why it feels it has to do it.”
Recorded at the former Tubeway Army star’s home studio in Los Angeles and at producer Ade Fenton’s studio in Bath, Intruder is the fifth in the pair’s long-running collaboration, beginning with 2006’s Jagged.
“I’m proud to announce that my new album ‘Intruder’ will be released on May 21st,” says the singer of his latest LP.
“I can’t wait for you all to hear it.”
Intruder is available to pre-order on standard Standard and Deluxe CD, 2LP Black and Coloured Vinyl and as a Double Picture Disc LP, and Cassette from Gary’s official store.
Pre-ordering the album grants access to a private area of Gary’s online store, where you receive exclusive album text, audio and video updates documenting the creation of the project.
There will also be two more exclusive coloured double-vinyl formats: an indie-exclusive red pressing and a silver edition from Amazon.
