Cold Specks has announced a UK tour.
News of the autumn shows - in Newcastle, Leeds, Glasgow, Manchester, Bristol and London - arrives alongside Ladan Hussein’s new single, Wild Card, which will feature on her forthcoming LP. Discussing it, Hussein said:
"The sparse arrangement was written before the vocals and melodies. Those things came after I had visited my mother and noticed her frantically phoning people up. There was a man in my family’s store, a new refugee, who had travelled from Somalia to Canada.
“By water and by foot he had travelled halfway around the world to establish a better life for himself and his family who were still at home. My mother had never met him before. He was a complete stranger from a familiar place. She took him to a local restaurant, fed him and found him somewhere to stay. I was astonished by her selflessness and kept humming ‘I’ll be there for you. Don’t know why’.”
