Badly Drawn Boy, aka Damon Gough, will be releasing a trilogy of albums called It’s What I’m Thinking and the first part, Part 1 – Photographing Snowflakes is out now. The above video for the song ‘Too Many Miracles’ is from the album as is the below track called ‘This Electric,’ which Gough is offering for free along with two remixes in exchange for an email address (this seems to be all the rage these days).
Badly Drawn Boy is going out on tour in North America for the first time in 3 years in support of new LP It’s What I’m Thinking, the first part of which will be released on 12th October.
BDB has apparently enjoyed such a period of creativity that he’s got enough material to produce a trilogy of albums. Pt. 1, which sees release next week, is subtitled Photographing Snowflakes.
