Former Mansun frontman Paul Draper has announced his second solo album, "Cult Leader Tactics" which is due for release on January the 28th via KScope. The following month, Draper embarks on a 21-date UK tour, taking in cities such as Sheffield, Newcastle and London.
The tour promises to deliver stripped-back versions of classic Mansun tracks as well as songs from his debut solo album "Spooky Action" and also from the upcoming new album, "Cult Leader Tactics".
Paul Draper plays most of the instruments on the new album, including guitars, drum machines and synthesisers. The album is album produced with long-time collaborator and acclaimed producer Paul ‘P-Dub’ Walton at Loft Studios, with additional engineering by Scott Knapper.
Cult Leader Tactics features guest appearances from musician and producer Steven Wilson. It also features Gamaliel ‘Gam’ Rendle Traynor from the band Sweat, who played, arranged and engineered all strings on ‘Lyin’ Bout Who U Sleep With’.
