TOP 20 CHARTING PAUL DRAPER RELEASES 7" CLEAR VINYL SINGLE FOLLOWING SOLD OUT UK TOUR

“A growling electro-rock odyssey built on a grand scale. This has an impressive heft” 8/10 UNCUT

As the frontman and songwriter of one of the most iconic bands of the late '90s, the creative force that brought the classic hit single "Wide Open Space" and the Number 1 album ‘Attack Of The Grey Lantern’ with Mansun, and now more recently as a solo artist with his top 20 charting album ‘Spooky Action’, Paul Draper's talent precedes him. As well as showing that his songwriting prowess is as strong as ever, Draper's solo album also proved that the legion of Mansun fans who started the annual Mansun Convention and an online petition for Paul to write a new album following the band's split in 2003 are still just as engaged in 2017.

Featuring two of the fan favourites from ‘Spooky Action’, this new 7" single will be pressed on to silver coloured vinyl and available on October 20th following Paul's sold out six-date UK tour from 14th-23rd September. The razored rock'n'roll of "Grey House" and catchy synth melodies of "Who's Wearing the Trousers" have been re-mixed by long-time Mansun collaborator PDub and will be serviced to radio September 1st. Previous singles from ‘Spooky Action’ have garnered radio support from Steve Lamacq, Chris Hawkins and the 6 Music Recommends show along with playlisting on BBC 6 Music, playlisting and an interview on Radio X, four live sessions and twice Track of the Week for Virgin Radio, plus further support from BBC Radio London and Amazing Radio.
