Variete

'Variete' is Marc Almond's first studio album of original self-written material for over 10 years!

This limited digipak edition contains an exclusive 7-track bonus acoustic CD featuring additional unreleased tracks and a 16-page booklet.

n this, Marc's 30th year as a recording artist, 'Varieté', revisits the eras of Marc's personal and musical life providing an eloquent and sometimes nostalgic, insight into what defines him as a performer. Almond says "The album deals with the themes of the changing times, a yearning for simplicity, regret at loss, growing older, loneliness through the eyes of a performer, madness, letting go, acceptance, as well as our obsession with nostalgia. For me the past and a sense of history is what gives us soul and humanity, gives us value. I wanted to celebrate nostalgia."

Marc is joined on 'Varieté' by long-term musical collaborators:- Neal Whitmore - Guitars, ukulele, piano, harmonica, Omnichord; Martin Watkins - Piano, keyboards, Omnichord; Dave Ruffy - Drums & percussion and Carl Holt - Bass. The album also features a selection of diverse musical guests and collaborators.
