Alison Mosshart has announced a spoken-word album.
‘Sound Wheel’ is set to land on August 7 via Third Man Records in conjunction with the release of the Kills lead vocalist’s book Car Ma, a collection of poetry, short stories and art. Check out the artwork and tracklist below, alongside the first preview of the new album, the sombre Returning The Screw.
"This is an album about cars, rock n’ roll, and love," explained Mosshart. "It’s an album about America, performance, and life on the road. It’s an album about fender bender portraiture, story tellin’ tire tracks, and the never-ending search for the spirit under the hood.”
Earlier this year, Mosshart unveiled two dynamic blues-rock tracks, It Ain't Water and Rise, though neither will appear on 'Sound Wheel'.
