Creeper's Ian Miles has shared details of his debut solo album.
'Degradation, Death, Decay' will arrive on October 15 via Big Scary Monsters and feature the newly shared single Truest Blue, a dark, acoustic song that's guided by the singer-songwriter and guitarist's quavering heart-wrenching vocals. He said:
"I never really seen this as a solo project because I’ve been writing and recording acoustic music since I was about 15. I low key released some very old songs way before Creeper started and even during. I don’t want to be the focus of this record, it’s not about me so I have decided to hide me. I want people to solely focus on the art."
Commenting on the process of releasing the record, which he recorded in 2018 in his spare room, he added: "It's just taken me that long to build up the confidence to actually put it out there and mentally prepare myself for the prospect of playing shows. I recorded it all in my freezing cold spare room where the heating doesn’t work. I listen back to this record, and I can hear how cold I was in my voice. I had to wait until my wife left the house because I felt anxious about singing while she was around, but now it’s so rewarding to make something out of nothing."
Miles will play a hometown album release show at God's House Tower in Southampton on October 8. Head here for details.
Creeper, meanwhile, will support their 2019 album, 'Sex, Death & The Infinite Void', with a rescheduled UK tour in December with Holding Absence, Wargasm and Static Dress.
