WIRRAL musician Daniel Hunt has collaborated with former Lush co-founder Emma Anderson on her new album. 

Anderson releases her new album, Spiralée: Pearlies Rearranged on October 18.

It consists of new versions of all 10 tracks from her debut solo album, Pearlies, reimagined by Julia Holter, LoneLady, The Orielles, deary, Lorelle Meets The Obsolete, MEMORIALS, Concretism and Masal.

The new single, Willow And Mallow is out now on all digital platforms and finds Hunt, of Ladytron, reframing the original ’70s TV-theme inspired folk song – featuring a guest appearance by Suede’s Richard Oakes on guitar – as an electro-pop banger.



“I’ve known Danny for over 20 years now,” said Emma. “I worked for the band’s management and he told me he’d been a massive Lush fan as a teenager and even had a poster of us on his wall. We became friends and he co-produced the Lush EP that came out in 2016, so it’s been a pleasure to work with him again on my own material.

“He has made the track less folky and more poppy and it really works. I also added some new backing vocals and – hey presto! – a fresh take on an existing song that just takes it to another place.”

Spiralée is available to pre-order now on three vinyl variants, plus CD and digital.
