John Foxx and The Maths - the duo featuring former Ultravox frontman Foxx and electronic music artist Benge - are to release a new limited-edition album entitled ‘The Shape of Things’ especially for their upcoming tour. The new album follows the duo’s recently-released debut ‘Interplay’ and includes a bonus disc of remixes. John Foxx and The Maths will be touring the UK in October – see below for dates and tickets.
John Foxx was a founding member and the original frontman of the New Wave group Ultravox from their formation in 1974. He appeared on the band’s first three albums before leaving in 1979 to pursue a solo career, at which point he was replaced by Midge Ure. Foxx has previously worked with a number of other artists such as Brian Eno, Krautrock producer Conny Plank, Leftfield’s Paul Daley and Cocteau Twins guitarist Robin Guthrie. He has been cited as an influence by the likes of Gary Numan and The Klaxons.
Benge released his debut album ‘Electro-orgoustic Music’ in 1995 through his own Expanding Records, which he originally setup for the purpose of launching the album. The label has since expanded to release music by a number of artists worldwide.
