With his anticipated new album The Last Rotation Of Earth due out 12th May via Bella Union, from which he last month shared the title track, today BC Camplight shares a new track, “She’s Gone Cold”, from the album. Commenting on the track BC Camplight says: “I never thought I'd make a breakup song. That seemed like something other artists did. Then my fiancé and partner of 9 years left. It's a pain I still haven't shed. By this point my album had already been recorded. So I scrapped the whole thing and started again as my view of the world and myself had violently shifted. The first thing I did was write ‘She’s Gone Cold’, about 2 days after the relationship ended. I enlisted the power of members of the Liverpool Philharmonic to create a cinematic experience that depicts one of the deepest pains a human can feel... the death of love. I used actual quotes from the breakup to create my first power ballad, albeit a somewhat demented one.”
Additionally, BC Camplight has a number of record store live performances around the release of the album. These will also be solo performances with the exception of Banquet in Kingston where he’ll be accompanied by his full band. Then later this year BC Camplight will tour the UK with his band including his biggest headline show to date at London’s Shepherds Bush Empire. Upcoming live info below…
