Morrissey unveiled his new album today, possibly his most rocking collection to date. And the man himself was on hand to introduce the new release, Years Of Refusal, which is due out on February 16.
Moz quipped that the child on the cover of the album was his own when he appeared at a playback for the 12-track release. “I’m the person in the picture which is not Photoshopped – that’s my son. This is my new album. Please, God, you like it,” he said as he premiered the album at London’s Pigalle club.
The new album is heavy on power chords on tracks on opener Something Is Squeezing My Skull, but there are touches of Mariachi elsewhere, while You Were Good In Your Time is lush and cinematic, ending with a wash of effects and snatched noises.
Morrissey said nothing about a report in today’s story in the Mirror that The Smiths were about to reform.
