SPILL NEW MUSIC: NEW PETER MURPHY SINGLE “SWOON” OUT NOW VIA METROPOLIS RECORDS

NEW PETER MURPHY SINGLE “SWOON” OUT NOW

METROPOLIS RECORDS

Following his triumphant return to the spotlight with last winter’s duet with Boy George “Let The Flowers Grow,” PETER MURPHY continues with his new single “Swoon” which was released on February 14, 2025 via Metropolis Records.

Produced by YOUTH (Pink Floyd, Killing Joke, The Orb, Paul McCartney “The Firemen,” Faith No More, Alien Sex Fiend, Siouxsie and the Banshees), the song is the first track to be released from Peter’s new album Silver Shade to be released on May 9, 2025.  Recorded at Youth’s studio in Spain, it’s the second album that the pair have worked on together since 2014’s Lion. A symbiotic relationship born of artistic collaboration, Silver Shade is, as he recently attested, “as powerful as any of my work to date.”

Peter Murphy’s solo career began in 1986 with the release of Should The World Fail To Fall Apart and continues to this day. His nine previous albums have spawned such decisive singles as “All Night Long,” “Indigo Eyes,” “Cuts You Up,” “Strange Kind of Love,” “The Scarlet Thing In You,” “Seesaw Sway,” and “I Am My Own Name.”

First emerging from the British punk and rock underground in the late ’70s, Murphy (along with bandmates Daniel Ash, David J and Kevin Haskins) fronted the groundbreaking iconic rock band Bauhaus which spawned four iconoclastic and ultra-seminal albums as well as keystone singles “She’s In Parties,” “Silent Hedges,” and, of course, “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” before disbanding in 1983 with a handful of reunions since then.

“Swoon” was released this week, February 14, 2025 via Metropolis Records. Silver Shade was produced by Youth and will be released May 9, 2025.
