Black Grape announce new album
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 18 May 2017
Black Grape are back and ready to release a new album in July. Ahead of that, the Shaun Ryder-fronted group have a new single out, called ‘Pop Voodoo’, which is also the title of the album.
Author Irvine Welsh, who has been appointed some sort of spokesperson for the band, says: “I’m delighted to report that Black Grape are back on the road, and with new album ‘Pop Voodoo’ that really does rock the fuck out of the discotheque. Shaun’s word play has never been deployed to such devastating effect, and he scores a bullseye whether he hits the obvious targets (Trump), and the more obscure ones… well, find out for yourself”.
“The world is in a bit of a state right now, and bullshit reigns more than ever, and perversely disguised as candour”, he continues. “We need Manc street sass, intelligence and wit more than ever right now. This album has that in spades”.

The album is out on 7 Jul. The band will also play Brixton Academy on 1 Jul.
