Bill Ryder-Jones is set to release his first solo album since leaving Liverpool’s The Coral after the release of ‘Roots & Echoes’.
‘If’ will be a grand departure from the songwriter’s former band - made with a concept of re-creating the work of modernist novelist Italo Calvino, with songs having the intention of working as grand orchestral pieces.
Released on November 14 with Double Six, the tracklist is as follows:
1. If…
2. The Reader (Malbork)
3. Leaning (Star Of Sweden)
4. By The Church Of Apollonia
5. Le Grand Desordre
6. Enlace
7. Intersect
8. The Flowers #3 (Lotus)
9. Give Me A Name
10. Some Absolute End (The End)
