 10cc/Godley & Creme Legend Kevin Godley Releases New Video From Forthcoming Solo Album MUSCLE MEMORY Kevin Godley has released a new video “Expecting a Message” from his highly anticipated forthcoming solo album MUSCLE MEMORY! “This is as DIY as it gets. No film crew, no editor, no budget. The plan was to make a film, stream of consciousness style, doing everything myself, like I’m recording music. Improvise, throw stuff in and make sense of it later and I did…all except the last bit. I guess it’s a performance film of sorts, all shot within a hundred yard radius of home and, at the risk of this sounding like a commercial, it would’ve been impossible without my iPhone X, Adobe Premier Pro and Wondershare Filmora editing software and two supremely cool apps, GlitchCam and EFEKT. Not sure if it’s the message I was expecting though.” - KG Watch the video: MUSCLE MEMORY marks Kevin’s first time fronting a project. His lyricism is cutting, political and provides a mood similar to film dialogue over classic pop lyricism. Gun control, societal unrest, racism and questions regarding political correctness make for some of the most striking lyrical content likely heard on an alternative pop record. This is a dark record from someone not known for dark themes. Kevin’s career features numerous exceptional albums and sees him as one of the most important pioneers of the pop music video. MUSCLE MEMORY is a fitting addition to this body of work, offering a provoking, daring new insight into Godley’s creative practice. Tracks from the album will be released in order every two weeks until the album's release on the 17th of December 2020.  Album track list / release timeline: 1) Expecting a Message: 16/07/2020 2) The Ghosts of the Living: 30/07/2020 3) Hit the Street: 13/08/2020 4) The Bang Bang Theory: 27/08/2020 5) 5 Minutes Alone: 10/09/2020 6) Cut to the Cat: 24/09/2020 7) One Day: 08/10/2020 8) All Bones are White: 22/10/2020 9) Periscope: 5/11/2020 10) Song of Hate: 19/11/2020 11) Bulletholes in the Sky: 03/12/2020 12) Muscle Memory - CD, Vinyl and Digital: 17/12/2020 Listening link: https://soundcloud.com/state51/sets/kevin-godley-muscle-memory/s-ZTSMzE2shtH Kevin Godley social media: Official website: http://www.kevin-godley.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BvcGX_ZgN22/ Twitter: @kevingodley9 Subscribe to Kevin Godley's mailing list: https://kevingodley.greedbag.com/subscribe/ For more information please contact The state51 Conspiracy: [email protected] Press inquiries: Glass Onyon PR, PH: 1-828-350-8158 (US), [email protected]

Hi, Expecting a message/song/album ... that never came ... years later we get this song! I miss the guys and their work from Hotlegs, to 10CC, to Godley & Creme, and the newer stuff that one of them is doing, whose name and band I don't even know ... (and trying to find!). Nice stuff ... fantastic and beautifully "directed" for a film ... makes some of the modern film makers that like to play with images and visuals, but are just looking silly, compared to what Kevin has done. It's a buy for me, regardless! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told! www.pedrosena.com |

Hi, Just saw his interview with the group (over an hour long) and it is magnificent and explains the mind and process of an artist ... and how they think. Of special importance, is his respect and ability to find and incorporate improvisational material into what he does which is a very rare ability that most musicians are afraid to even consider! Excellent document for an artist ... and watching some of those videos again after all these years ... is like ... wow ... why is this guy not making movies, instead of songs? He would make Lars von Trier look like an idiot! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told! www.pedrosena.com |
