Today, MORRISSEY, one of the most beloved and influential artists of all time, releases his fourteenth solo studio album, MAKE-UP IS A LIE, out now via Sire/Warner Records. The dynamic song cycle features a dozen tracks, including the single “Make-up is a Lie,” “Notre- Dame,” and new, live fan-favorite “The Monsters of Pig Alley.” A video for the track, directed by filmmaker Lewis Carter, is forthcoming. Stream MAKE UP IS A LIE HERE.
MAKE-UP IS A LIE reunites MORRISSEY with producer Joe Chiccarelli (The Strokes, The White Stripes, Weezer, My Morning Jacket) as he returns to Studio La Fabrique in the Saint-Rémy-de-Provence region of Southern France. With poetic and provocative lyrics, evocatively unpredictable instrumentation, and a title that can be read as an explicit call for unvarnished truth and expression, the new album underscores MORRISSEY’s status as one of the most acclaimed and potent voices for over four decades.
MORRISSEY is joined on MAKE-UP IS A LIE by a familiar cast of characters and bandmates, including Jesse Tobias, Camila Grey, Carmen Vandenberg, Juan Galeano, Alain Whyte, Gustavo Manzur, and Brendan Buckley. The tracklist includes some song titles previously referenced by MORRISSEY and others never before revealed, as well as a faithful cover of Roxy Music’s 1973 deep cut “Amazona”.
MAKE-UP IS A LIE is available on vinyl, CD, cassette, and digitally, through all DSP’s. Vinyl album variants include Blue vinyl and a unique Zoetrope picture disc. A Red vinyl pressing will be available exclusively through all Indie retail stores.
