| | Description: | This Autumn sees the release of Gavin Fridayâ??s much-awaited new album, Ecce
Homo, his first in over thirteen years, and via BMG. It is a work that heralds a
fuller, more sonorous, form of expression for this ever-evolving artist, one that
transcends the prescribed conventions of genre, breaks new ground and brooks no
compromise.
Where loss, filial grief, remorse and existential disquiet were the more
conspicuous tenets of Fridayâ??s 2011 release, catholic, the presiding spirit of Ecce
Homo is altogether freer, less shackled, and sovereign â?? indomitable, too. Selftyranny
and its capitulations have here been sublimated into strength and enduring
triumph. The credo is that of a man beheld, yes, but never beholden.
There is throughout Ecce Homo the same synth-powered pulse and pump one has
come to expect from this fiercely impassioned iconoclast â?? glam rockâ??s platform
stomp in perfect sync with post-punkâ??s oxblood heart â?? and yet its medleyed parts
resound as if new-minted: proud, valourous, regenerate. Here, torch songs catch in
a blaze of beauty, so too the embered days of youth. Fridayâ??s talismanic
touchstones are ringingly manifest on Ecce Homo, among them Brel, Ginsberg,
Grosz and Callas, their galvanic charge persisting like a ghost voltage in what is a
new and wholly inimitable register of Electronica. Suffused, as many of the songs
are, with soaring orchestration, there is nonetheless a stark, near-Brutalist tonality
to the record â?? industrial, even. A sensory (and sensuous) Berghain, if you will,
Ecce Homo is richly redolent of the Weimar years, of discord and dance â?? of
decadence! â?? and is stamped throughout with the hallmarks of Fridayâ??s glittering
art: the salt of sex, the heartâ??s burlesque.
Recorded in Dublin and London, Ecce Homo is produced by Dave Ball (of Soft
Cell), Michael Heffernan and Riccardo Mulhall.
Featuring the singles â??Ecce Homoâ?? and â??The Church of Loveâ??, the album will be
available as a Limited Edition 1LP Colour and deluxe 1CD. - CD edition includes five bonus tracks. 2024 release.
