Alison Mosshart (The Kills/Dead Weather) preps spoken word LP, shares “Returning the Screw”

Alison Mosshart of The Kills, Dead Weather, Discount, etc has been focusing on her solo career this year, releasing a trio of solo tracks. Now she's announced a spoken-word album, Sound Wheel, the companion to her book of paintings, photographs, poetry, and short stories, CAR MA. Both are due out on August 7 via Third Man.

A press release describes Sound Wheel as being about "cars, rock n’ roll, and love," and Alison says, "It’s not music but there are songs on it, it’s not spoken word, but I talk a lot." She's shared the first single, the bluesy, spoken-sung, "Returning the Screw." Listen to that and check out album art and tracklist below.
