Ed Harcourt to support
Nathaniel Rateliff and The Night Sweats on UK Tour
THE 1 and only Ed
Hardcourt has released 1 of the albums of 2016.
Furnaces has been hailed unanimously by the critics as the record of his career.
Ed releases the latest track taken from it:- 'Loup Garou'
impacting 18 November 2016, on Polydor Records. Working closely with legendary
producer Flood, (Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, PJ Harvey and Foals),
'Furnaces' is Ed's most ambitious and abrasive album to date and 'Loup Garou'
is 1 of its many highlights. The track was inspired by Charles
Mackay's book Extraordinary Popular Delusions & The Madness of Crowds. Ed
explains:- "a 'Loup Garou' was known in France as a werewolf. People in
villages would accuse the local hermit or village idiot of being a shapeshifting
demon, blaming them for savagely murdering their children or causing plagues or
illnesses. Loup Garous had nails driven into them for punishment and as such it
could have much in common with the current public shaming that exists on social
media." After 4 blistering shows in 2 weeks at Glastonbury,
headlining The Deaf Institute and The Borderline and the 2nd stage in Hyde Park
supporting Carole King, Ed played a stunning full band show at a packed out
Village Underground last week to rave reviews. His next jaunt will be a rawkus
affair as support for 1of the breakout bands of 2016, Nathaniel Rateliff and The
Night Sweats.
