It's never too lute... Brett Anderson makes 'Scott Walker record'

Brett Anderson (Suede and The Tears) is to release a solo album. The self-titled album will be available next year and features strings and lutes (!), apparently!
Fear not - Anderson hasn't gone all medieval on our ass - the new album has been described by its creator as 'having a Scott Walker feel', which is fine by me. Anderson co-produced the record and also played electric guitar on it. Let's hope it's worth the wait. It's got to be better than that last dodgy Suede album...
