Edwyn Collins releasing 'Understated' in 2013 (stream a track)
Edwyn Collins @ The Rock Shop, March 2011 (more by Dana [distortion] Yavin) 
Onetime Orange Juice frontman Edwyn Collins will release Understated in March 2013, his eighth solo album and follow-up to 2010’s terrific Losing Sleep. The album is being released by AED Records, the label Collins started with onetime Rough Trade A&R man James Endicott. You can stream the album’s first single, “Too Bad (That’s Sad),” below along with the album art which was done by Edwyn as well. And while it’s probably too late to get them in time for Christmas, AED is selling holiday cards with a lovely Roe Deer illustration done by Edwyn. Save ’em for next year!
No North American tour announced as of yet, but he does have a Spring 2013 UK tour planned and those dates are listed below, along with the song stream.
