Martina Topley-Bird
is to release her eagerly awaited debut solo album Quixotic
on July 14th. Ranging from ambient ballads to swamp-boogie,
from shattering rock to brutal electronica, Quixotic looks
set to re-establish Martina as an essential voice on the musical
landscape.
In the mid 90's with her then musical partner
Tricky, Martina redefined music with the highly acclaimed
Maxinquaye album followed by the Nearly God, Pre-Millennium
tension and Angels With Dirty Faces lp's.
Featuring production credits from the likes
of David Holmes (Too Tough To Die) and Tricky
(Ragga), Quixotic also features string arrangements
from David Arnold (Of James Bond and Bjork fame) on Days
Of A Gun and guitars and backing vocals by Queens
of the Stone Ages Josh Homme and Mark Lanegan
on debut single Need One.
Martina heads off on a nationwide tour to
coincide with the album launch in July. See below for full
