Ed Harcourt – El Magnifico

Ed Harcourt has today announced both the details of the release of his new album, El Magnifico. ‘Strange Beauty’ is the first track to be taken from the record.

Talking about ‘Strange Beauty’, which is accompanied by a beautiful video shot in Almeria, Southern Spain by Steve Gullick, Ed said:

“A song that uses visceral imagery to convey that classic old feeling of love and the immense power it has. I think that even after being a reckless, naive romantic after all these years, I still want to describe how violently mad it can make one feel. It’s about escapism, there’s an us against the world aspect, not adhering to the confines of society I guess. The song was written a while back and then lurked in a drawer for a few years…then I gave it the kiss of life and it sprung back with magnificent vigour!”

Format – CD & LP
