 Barry Adamson takes us ‘Back To The Cat’(alogue) with a series of reissues on CD and coloured vinyl.
 Originally released in 2008, ‘Back To The Cat’ was in keeping with the artist who developed the concept of the imaginary soundtrack, with every song building a compelling narrative around Barry’s lifelong investigation of identity, sexuality, race, spirituality and society.
 The record picked up the threads of his previous work and continued to showcase his musical ambidexterity covering noir jazz, sun-drenched pop ballads, fractious funk, heavenly blues and subversive soul.
 The reissue of Back To The Cat will be released alongside ‘Stranger On The Sofa’ and Barry’s latest EP, ‘Steal Away’. (‘I Will Set You Free’ and ‘Know Where To Run’ are set to follow later in the year.)
 “‘Back To The Cat’ is one of his most pop-friendly records, emphasizing compact, melodic songs that still bear the mark of his twin senses of humor and the macabre.” - Pitchfork
 “The music is alive and bursting from the seams with an isometric decahedron of tunes and good ideas…” - PopMatters
 “This, his eighth solo album, initially sounds as though it was made for film buffs as much as music fans, but it soon reveals itself as a musical compendium.” - The Guardian
 CD in card eco pac.
 Clear vinyl with spot gloss sleeve and digital download code.
