Folk bard Roy Harper is to release his first all-new LP in thirteen years, titled ‘Man And Myth’, via Bella Union on 23 Sep.

Dating back in parts to 2009, when Harper felt inspired to start writing again after a pause, it was mainly taped at American artist Jonathan Wilson’s studio in Laurel Canyon.

Says Harper: “I’ve written poetry, prose, essays and articles and gone through the motions of being Roy, but I didn’t have the will to make another album until recently. I’d picked up the guitar after a long break, and this [one] song started to engage me with different tunings and ideas, and suddenly I was off to the races again”.

Tracklisting:

The Enemy
Time Is Temporary
January Man
The Stranger
Cloud Cuckooland
