Marc Almond’s prolific streak continues into the new year with Chaos And A Dancing Star. The follow-up album to Shadows And Reflections began life three years ago when Almond first started working with Grammy-nominated songwriter and pianist Chris Braide. “I wanted to write romantic, apocalyptic love songs and set them in fatal end-of-days settings with a touch of mystic paganism yet hopelessness,” says Marc.
“It reflects the out-of-kilter world in which we find ourselves living today. Crows are a symbolic recurring theme on this record. When their eyes turn blue, their life is coming to an end. Maybe it is the end of days for all of us, and perhaps this is something we should acknowledge.”
