Gavin Friday's much-awaited new album, Ecce Homo, his first in over thirteen years, is being released via BMG. It is a work that heralds a fuller, more sonorous form of expression for this ever-evolving artist, one that transcends the prescribed conventions of genre, breaks new ground and brooks no compromise. Where loss, filial grief, remorse and existential disquiet were the more conspicuous tenets of Friday's 2011 release, Catholic, the presiding spirit of Ecce Homo is altogether freer, less shackled, and sovereign - indomitable, too. Self-tyranny and its capitulations have here been sublimated into strength and enduring triumph. The credo is that of a man beheld, yes, but never beholden Recorded in Dublin and London, Ecce Homo is produced by Dave Ball (of Soft Cell), Michael Heffernan and Riccardo Mulhall. Featuring the singles "Ecce Homo," and "The Church of Love."
