FORMER ICICLE WORKS FRONTMAN IAN MCNABB RELEASES NEW ALBUM ‘LITTLE EPISODES’ AND UNDERTAKES LIVE DATES IN SUPPORT OF RELEASE.
Legendary Liverpool singer-songwriter Ian McNabb has completed work on his new album, titled ‘Little Episodes’ which is released exclusively via www.ianmcnabb.com in February 2012.
The new album is a stunning collection of freshly minted tracks which confirm Ian’s status as one of the premier talents of his generation.
The songs on the album were written over a day and a half period in late November 2011, Ian comments “I don’t think I’ve written that many songs so quickly in one sitting ever before, and certainly not used them all on one album in virtually the same order as I wrote them. The muse was certainly with me. I went into the studio immediately after my two Christmas gigs in Liverpool and we recorded the whole thing over a ten day period – taking time off for minor inconveniences such as Christmas and New Year’s. My favourite records of mine are always recorded fast. Here’s another one of them. Hope you enjoy it."
“I can’t wait to play these new songs in front of an audience, I’m very proud of them and how they have turned out” – Ian McNabb.
Little Episodes is released in February 2012 exclusively via www.ianmcnabb.com
