Manic Street Preachers' Nicky Wire has surprise released a new solo album.
'Intimism' marks the bassist and lyricist's second full-length, following his 2006 debut 'I Killed The Zeitgeist'.
Having teased the record with April single Contact Sheets, the full-length is now available via BandCamp. Introducing it, Wire commented:
"This record is a collage pieced together over the last decade. It’s as me as me can be – a distillation of my purest indie fantasies, a place where all those broken lists of regret have found themselves realigned. I found a musical and lyrical language I could call my own. A landscape of mundane miracles, interior monologues and lacerating self loathing. As the song says: 'I am an -ist / I am an -ism / a lifelong affair with tunnel vision'."
Manic Street Preachers are currently working on the follow-up to 2021's 'The Ultra Vivid Lament.'
