Bryan Ferry shares new song and video from 'Avonmore' (streams); Roxy Music broke up again
Bryan Ferry @ Beacon Theatre, 10/1/2014 (more by Greg Cristman)
As mentioned, Bryan Ferry‘s new album, Avonmore, will be out November 17. It features album-wide contributions from iconic guitarists Johnny Marr and Nile Rodgers. Marr can be heard on “Soldier Of Fortune” and Rodgers’ distinctive Chic-funk riffing is prevalent on “Loop De Li,” both of which can be heard below. The latter now has a striking video, directed by Aoife McArdle (who made Jon Hopkins’ “Open Eye Signal“), which definitely throws back to the ’80s Excess days of Jay McInerney and Bret Easton Ellis. Watch that (slightly NSFW) clip below.
In other news, Ferry’s old band Roxy Music reformed in 2001 but have been completely inactive for nearly four years. If you were wondering what was the story, well they broke up again but forgot to tell anybody till now, informs guitarist Phil Manzera to Rolling Stone. There are plans for new Roxy boxsets next year. And more Bryan Ferry touring (hopefully in better health) to come.
Bryan Ferry is currently in the midst up a European tour and will be on the road in the UK this coming spring. All dates are listed, plus video and song stream, below…
