Barry Adamson presents a series of reissues on CD and coloured vinyl.

Originally released in the mid-2000s, ‘Stranger On The Sofa’ is an album tied together by its mysterious cinematic composure. Each track is used to demonstrate the breadth of musicianship and re-presentation of countless timeless genres, moving in between electronica and jazz with shadowy ambience scattered throughout.

Nick Plytas and Adrian Owusu provided their expertise on the organ and slide guitar, with Barry playing almost every other instrument. Composing, performing, recording and producing ‘Stranger On The Sofa’ undoubtedly makes it an album that represents Adamson fully embracing the DIY aesthetic from where he began.

‘Stranger On The Sofa’ has never been available on vinyl before and this new edition of the album will be released alongside the album ‘Back To The Cat’ and Barry’s ‘Steal Away EP’. (‘I Will Set You Free’) and (‘Know Where To Run’) set to follow later this year.

“[This] solo album from the former bassist for Magazine and the Bad Seeds is an eclectic mix of dark instrumentals and brooding pop.” – Pitchfork

“As good as anything he has done. The bleak, dysfunctional cityscapes conjured are nightmarish” – Sunday Times Culture

“Proves once again what an unnerving space the interior of his head must be” – Mojo

Red double vinyl with digital download code.
