Label GB

Marc Almond is a UK singer, songwriter and performer. He was born on 9 July 1957 in Southport, Lancashire. In recognition of his contributions to the arts and sciences, work with charitable and welfare organisations, and public service outside the Civil service, he was awarded an OBE (The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) in the New Year's Honours list in 2018.

A re-issue of Marc Almond’s 11th solo album, Stranger Things, from 2001 as part of his 65th year celebration. Stranger Things was a celebrated collaboration between Marc Almond and the much- missed mercurial talent of Icelandic producer and arranger Jóhann Jóhannsson (Lhooq, Dip, Hafler Trio…) which gave the album a consciously cinematic musical coherence with its signature melodramatic and soaring string arrangements to the fore.

Deftly combining elements of Gothic tinged Synth Pop and orchestral grandeur, the album provoked much eulogising on its original release. Marc and Johannsson were kindred spirits whose shared influences were a mash-up of Philip Glass, ‘70s music, John Barry, Martin Denny, striptease soundtracks, burlesque and Techno – all of which is richly manifested in the unique sensibility and beauty of the resultant album.

3CD - A deluxe three disc, newly expanded 2022 edition. Containing no less than 32 bonus tracks across discs two and three including original song demos, remixes, rarities, alternative versions and live renditions of ‘Stranger Things’ album tracks recorded around the time of the album’s sessions. Issued in miniature LP style packaging with three inner sleeve wallets and a 32 page lyric booklet.
