Second limited vinyl edition, still in the deluxe gatefold-sleeve, but now on transparent BLUE vinyl, running on 45rpm for highest sound quality! Having issued 'Let The Flowers Grow' (a surprise duet with Boy George) as a standalone single in late 2024, original post-punk icon Peter Murphy has followed it in 2025 with the majestic synth-punk/funk hybrid 'Swoon' (featuring Trent Reznor) and the stridently epic 'The Artroom Wonder' (featuring Justin Chancellor of Tool).Both singles are included on Murphy's new album, 'Silver Shade', while ‘Let The Flowers Grow’ has been added to the tracklisting as a bonus song.Produced by Youth (Pink Floyd, The Verve, Crowded House, member of Killing Joke, The Orb, The Firemen) at his studio in Spain, 'Silver Shade' is Murphy's tenth studio album and a long-awaited follow-up to 'Lion', which the pair worked on together a decade ago. A symbiotic relationship born of artistic collaboration, Murphy states that "this new album is as powerful as any of my work to date."The album title song features another guest vocal contribution from Reznor, while Danny Carey of Tool plays drums. "'Silver Shade' captures the stillness after the storm; haunted, reflective and raw," explains Murphy. "It is about a King letting go of his slaves. It's not about nostalgia or reinvention, but quiet reckoning."Peter Murphy's solo career began in 1986 with the release of 'Should The World Fail To Fall Apart', with this and his eight other studio albums to date spawning fan favourites such as 'Cuts You Up', 'A Strange Kind Of Love', 'All Night Long', 'Indigo Eyes', 'The Prince & Old Lady Shade' and 'I'll Fall With Your Knife'.
