From Loudersoud.
Former Mansun singer Paul Draper returns to active duty with the release of a lyric video for Cult Leader Tactics, his first new music for five years. You can watch the new video below. Sub-titled “a self-help manual on how to become a complete cult in the music industry” Cult Leader Tactics will be released through Kscope on January 28.
The new album is made up of extracts from a fictitious self-help manual ‘Cult Leader Tactics’, a parody of the self-help manual genre. After experiencing these types of human behaviour and themes, the album arrives at the conclusion the only true answer in life is love.
The new album, Draper’s first sine 2017’s Spooky Action, features a collaboration wit Steven Wilson on Omega Man and Gamaliel ‘Gam’ Rendle Traynor from the band Sweat, who played, arranged and engineered all strings (recorded at Sweat Studios, Peckham, London), as well as a 288-person C.L.T. Lockdown Choir who sing on Lyin’ Bout Who U Sleep With.
Draper plays the majority of the instruments on Cult Leader Tactics 11-tracks, including guitars, drum machines and synthesisers, on an album produced with long-time collaborator, acclaimed producer Paul ‘P-Dub’ Walton at the latter’s Loft Studios, with additional engineering by Scott Knapper.
Cult Leader Tactics will be available as a 4CD, 60-page hardback self-help manual, and a limited edition single gatefold Indie special with a bonus 7” single featuring a collaboration with Steven Wilson, as a gatefold single LP, a gatefold single LP indie-only release, comes with a bonus 7” featuring a second collaboration with Steven Wilson, a gatefold single coloured LP, digipack CD and digital.
