Following a triumphant return to the spotlight in November 2024 with \u2018Let The Flowers Grow\u2019, his duet with Boy George, original post-punk icon Peter Murphy<\/strong> has today released \u2018Swoon\u2019, a brand new single that also serves as the perfect Valentine\u2019s Day gift for his fans.
<\/em>
Percussive and expansive, \u2018Swoon\u2019 is a superlative slice of synth-punk\/funk that captures Murphy’s voice in all its sonorous glory. Produced by Youth (Pink Floyd, The Verve, Crowded House, member of Killing Joke, The Orb, The Firemen w\/Paul McCartney), the song is the first to be released from Murphy\u2019s new album, \u2018Silver Shade\u2019, due out on 9th May 2025. Recorded at Youth\u2019s studio in Spain, it is the long-awaited follow-up to \u2018Lion\u2019, which the pair worked on together a decade ago. A symbiotic relationship born of artistic collaboration, Murphy states that \u201cthis new album is as powerful as any of my work to date.\u201d

Peter Murphy\u2019s solo career began in 1986 with the release of \u2018Should The World Fail To Fall Apart\u2019, with this and his eight other studio albums to date spawning fan favourites such as \u2018Cuts You Up\u2019, \u2018A Strange Kind Of Love\u2019, \u2018All Night Long\u2019, \u2018Indigo Eyes\u2019, \u2018The Prince & Old Lady Shade\u2019 and \u2018I\u2019ll Fall With Your Knife\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to this, Murphy had fronted Bauhaus, who emerged from the fertile UK post-punk scene in 1979 with the release of their debut single, \u2018Bela Lugosi\u2019s Dead\u2019, often considered to be the very first gothic rock record. The band went on to record four seminal albums before initially splitting in 1983, as well as further classic singles such as \u2018Dark Entries\u2019, \u2018The Passion Of Lovers\u2019, \u2018Lagartija Nick\u2019 and \u2018She’s In Parties\u2019. They also had a major hit single with a cover version of \u2018Ziggy Stardust\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
