One can assume the writing is finished, and there's now going to be a greater focus on solo output, after a few years' hiatus.

We've got a lot of good stuff to look forward to then, including this record, three - count 'em - books, a tour and a Modern Antiquarian mobile app.

Interesting move. I wonder is this is strictly for Cope solo albums, and all the other wonderful weird projects remain on HH.

Looks like a publishing deal to me

Hopefully, new solo music to be released through them. As far as I'm aware he's still with Faber & Faber with regard to books.

That makes sense. Maybe they will be able to promote his songs a bit further afield than HH has been able to do. Most people know him as former TX and 80s solo artist. I would argue his work of the last 20 years has surpassed any of that which came before it.

I hope it makes it easier for him to keep entertaining us well into old age.

Yeah, I agree.

Cope always said years ago that he would carry on doing what he's doing until he's physically unable to.

So, hopefully a good few more years yet !!!!

I reckon he's looking to have his old stuff used on programmes like Stranger Things and cashing in on it.

Ian McNabb has had a really good cash back from the first series because they used Icicle Works tracks and it has worked to spark interest in his back catalogue and new stuff.

kerching ! £££££

Perhaps East Easy Rider will actually advertise jeans after all ?
