Luke Haines talks Rock N Roll Animals
By Aly Barchi | Published on Thursday 6 June 2013
Luke Haines, formally of Auteurs and Black Box Recorder, is releasing a new solo LP featuring narration by actress Julia Davies, via Cherry Red on 29 Jul.
Its name is ‘Rock N Roll Animals’ and this is why: “‘Rock N Roll Animals’ is a psychedelic story for grown ups (and children). Jimmy Pursey – is a frisky fox; Nick Lowe – a solid badger and Gene Vincent – a cat who’s seen a bit more of life than most of us. Three furry freaks. Three rock n roll animals. The fable of our four-pawed shamen is narrated by the good folk of Magic Town. This is a story of righteous rock n roll and how our three rock n roll animal friends, when not frolicking in the undergrowth, do battle with their most unrighteous nemesis – a fuck ugly bird (from Tyneside) made of steel and wire called The Angel Of The North”.
And: “So friends, free your minds, turn off your modern scrying screens and turn on your 21st century imaginations. Let us follow the townsfolk into the woods where the rock n roll animals are freaking out and running wild. But remember one thing: Nature is an evil mother”.
