3-DISC, HARDBACK BOOK EDITION: INCLUDES MANSUN RETOLD NEW STUDIO ALBUM CD, ‘STRIPPED BACK VERSIONS’ CD + BLU-RAY DISC OF DOLBY ATMOS, 5.1 & HI-RES STEREO AUDIO
Mansun Retold sees Paul Draper revisit and reimagine some of the most iconic songs from Mansun’s catalogue, rebuilding them from the ground up. Recorded at The Loft Studios in Surrey, Draper co-produced the album with Paul “PDub” Walton (The Cure, U2, Björk, Massive Attack, Oasis). The recordings feature a string quartet arranged and led by Audrey Riley (Muse, Coldplay, Nick Cave), with drums performed by Julian Fenton, Mansun’s own drummer in their early days. Draper handles acoustic bass, acoustic lead and rhythm guitar, and piano – his instantly recognisable songwriting retold for the modern day.
“I picked some of my favourite songs that I had written during my time in Mansun, ones that I also felt could be interpreted by a full unplugged acoustic band and reimagined in a more mature way for a new audience as well as existing fans.” – Paul Draper
In the late ‘90s, Mansun carved out their own corner of British music with albums like Attack of the Grey Lantern (a UK No.1), Six, and Little Kix - works that built a loyal cult following with Draper at the heart of the chaos. Nearly three decades later, he’s revisiting that world and meeting his younger self across the years.
