Overview
Release Date:05/17/2019;Notes:Gatefold 2LP Multi Coloured Vinyl Limited To 1000 Copies. After a 25 year hiatus from music, Viv Albertine, lead guitarist and songwriter of the hugely-influential 'punk' band 'The Slits', unleashes her first full-length release. A long time in the making, the album is crammed with unbridled honesty, caustic wit and occasional humour delivered in an engrossing narrative. 'The Vermilion Border' includes a prestigious guest line-up of guest bassists and even reunites her with Dennis Bovell - producer of The Slits seminal 1979 album 'The Cut'. With 'The Vermilion Border' (a biological term for the border between the reddish skin of the lip and the more regular skin of the face), Viv is documenting a border crossing in so many different ways: from domesticity to the uncertainty of life as an artist. From the comfort and safety of marriage, towards solitude and introspection, but always with the goal of personal freedom and self expression in her sights. The order of the songs on the album tells a story - often with humour, always with spirit - beginning with anger, moving through disillusionment and arriving at a breakthrough with the ability to see beauty in the world again. Guest bass players include: Jack Bruce (Cream), Tina Weymouth (Talking Heads), Wayne Nunes (Tricky), Glen Matlock (The Sex Pistols), Richard Pike (PVT), Jenny Lee Lindberg (Warpaint), Dennis Bovell, Norman Watt Roy (Ian Dury & The Blockheads), Danny Thompson (Nick Drake, John Martin, Pentangle), Jah Wobble (PIL), Winston Blissett (Massive Attack) and Jim Barr (Portishead).;Track List:1.
