Charlotte Hatherley Will Take Us All Away To Cinnabar City

Former Ash guitarist Charlotte Hatherley, whose 2007 album The Deep Blue was soaked in post-punk smarts and powerpop spunk, is releasing a new album, Cinnabar City, in the imminent future. According to the release, Cinnabar was recorded in a week, with Charlotte once again tackling all the guitars, and “flits between prog-pop, pop-punk and electro-junk”; in case you’re unfamiliar with her solo work, start with the shimmering “Behave” (above) and then go here to continue your schooling. Man, between this bit of news and my Dan-aided discovery of The Joy Formidable, today is shaping up to be a very, very good day. [Charlotte Hatherley/ YouTube; HT Matthew Perpetua]
