Isn’t it about time we got a new Bowie album? Not counting the leak of ‘Toy’ last year, it’s slowly creeping up to a decade since the man has released new material.<\/p>\n
Searching anywhere on the internet throws up a huge amount of speculation, ranging from ‘he’s retiring’ to ‘he’s already back recording’. All without sources or solid fact. I don’t think a man of Bowie’s talents and mindset will every truly retire, but by the same token, where’s he been the past ten years? Does it really take that long to raise a family?<\/p>\n
Listening to ‘Station To Station’ on continuous loop this evening fills me with regret that I was not old enough to appreciate this release when it was new. It’s an under appreciated gem, dense with thought and claustrophobia. A bizarre mix of rockstar cocaine and German monotony.<\/p>\n
In fact, now that I think about it, I’ve never really been mature enough to understand the grandeur of a new Bowie album. With traditional music labels going through major turbulence (I prey they’re fucked), I’m not sure how something like this would be handled. I don’t see Bowie as a ‘download only’ type. I sincerely hope I’ve not missed my chance to savour a new album, one untainted by nostalgia or critical perception.<\/p>\n
If I had to place a bet, I’d wager that we’ll hear a new album at the end of this year, or at the very least have concrete confirmation of one. But I keep my fingers crossed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
