Peter Murphy In Like A Lion

Lion is due out June 3. The 11-track album was produced by Youth (Killing Joke, The Verve). Murphy’s PR reps say the album “sustains a heart-in-throat tension from start to finish” thanks to songs that have “an elegant master of tone – bass heavy, stark, shimmering and symphonic.”

Get a taste of the LP with the album trailer below:

You can pre-order the album and purchase the lead single, “Hang Up,” April 8 via iTunes. Visit your local brick and mortar record store on Record Store Day April 19 to get your hands on an exclusive, limited edition 7” single with “Hang Up (Dub Mix)” and “I’m On Your Side.”
