Matthew Bourne and visual artist Michael England have revealed the trailer for their moogmemory tour, which kicks off on March 4th. It offers a glimpse into the unsettling Lynchian world the pair will be occupying on their audiovisual collaboration. While Bourne and England will be travelling from Bristol to Glasgow via London, Manchester, Brighton and Southampton, they will be taking audiences on a journey from Montauk, New York to the Yorkshire Moors. We’re told they will be exploring the relationship between the literal and abstract in landscapes through a haunting marriage of controlled voltage. As previously mentioned, where Bourne is concerned its best to expect the unexpected.
The moogmemory album will be released March 4th on CD and limited edition vinyl LP in an intricate embossed sleeve designed by Michael England. Pre-order now on Bourne’s Bandcamp.
