Hugh Cornwell has unveiled the artwork and track listing for his forthcoming studio album Totem And Taboo which is released in the UK on Monday 10Th September through Cadiz Music. Recorded at Electrical Audio Studios, Chicago, the new album was engineered and mixed by Steve Albini (Nirvana, PJ Harvey, Pixies).

“This was the last song I wrote for the album,” says Cornwell about the title track Totem And Taboo. “It’s become one of my favourites. A hint of Rebel Rebel with some Marc Bolan glam thrown in. I’ve always liked songs with marching 4’s on the snare, and that’s what it is supposed to be, a rallying call for like-minded souls.”
