Nina Hagen has shared details of her first new album in 11 years.
The German punk icon will follow-up 2011's 'Volksbeat' with her 14th full-length, 'Unity', through Grönland on December 9.
As a preview, the 67-year-old has dropped a cover of Merle Travis' country classic 16 Tons, which is guided by Hagen's raspy, weathered vocals over minimal instrumentation comprising flourishes of surf guitar and skittering beats.
It follows the previously released title track featuring George Clinton, and comes paired with a video directed by Sebastian Vogt.
'Unity' tracklist:
1. Shadrack
2. United Women of the World
3. Unity
4. 16 Tons
5. Atomwaffensperrvertrag
6. Gib Mir Deine Liebe
7. Venusfliegenfalle
8. Redemption Day
9. Geld Geld Geld
10. Die Antwort Weiss Ganz Allein der Wind
11. Open My Heart (Dinner Time)
12. It Doesn’t Matter Now
