New studio album by Idlewild's Roddy Woomble
Following on from the brooding,atmospheric 'Like Carsuo' single in March comes the highly anticipated fourth solo album 'The Deluder' from Idlewild's frontman Roddy Woomble
Roddy's career spans over twenty years. As the frontman of Scottish Indie giants Idlewild, he has released a number of commercially successful albums, headlined shows across the world, toured with U2, REM, Pearl Jam, Coldplay, Muse & the Rolling Stones across Europe and the USA. The band have appeared at major festivals including Reading & Leeds, Glastonbury & T in the Park together with prestigious TV shows including Top of the Pops, Later with Jools Holland, and David Letterman to accompany chart success.
Growing up between America, France and the UK, and spending spells in Glasgow and New York City, Roddy now lives on Mull in the Western Isles of Scotland, and hosts the annual Iona Village Hall Music Festival and has recently published 'Instrumentals', a collection of words, lyrics and photographs from tours fronting Idlewild, critically acclaimed solo albums, and Roddy's life in Scottish Hebrides.
Having established himself as a leading voice in the thriving British contemporary indie folk music scene, his anticipated new album The Deluder will see Roddy take a darker more lo fi direction held together by Woomble's trademark poetic lyrics, "evocative vocals and consummate gift for a tune."
