We don’t always see new music from Graham Parker with his most successful affiliation, The Rumour. But, when I see those two names joined together, I get excited, despite their musical admonition not to.
On May 18, Graham Parker & The Rumour will be releasing a brand new album, Mystery Glue. What’s extra special about Mystery Glue is the fact that it is musically powered by the original bandmates of The Rumour, who includes Brinsley Schwarz, Bob Andrews, Martin Belmont, Stephen Goulding, and Andrew Bodnar. Their last together, Three Chords Good, which was released in 2012, was an excellent add to the catalog. The timeless magic is still there.
Mystery Glue will contain twelve songs (track-list below).
Mystery Glue will be released via Universal in the UK (for now) on CD, and vinyl LP. The first 100 to pre-order either the CD or the LP will be treated to a signed copy. Additionally, a pre-order will enter you into a contest that could award five fans (you?) with an exclusive acoustic performance by Graham Parker.
