Vivien Goldman – Next Is Now

The eagerly awaited 'Next Is Now' was recorded and produced by Youth (Killing Joke, The Orb, Paul McCartney) and features ten brand new tracks, including lead single 'Saturday Afternoon'. Says Goldman, Quite a turn-up to be making my first album now, specially with my dear bred'ren Youth at the controls. I found I had lots to sing about and my voice has improved!" "The music scene is not the boystown cockocracy it was when I recorded 'Launderette' in the early 1980s post-punk days. Punk had already started to shift things. Though the struggles continue, I am glad to be among those feeling the benefits of women being heard more loudly. The issues I sang about back then still concern us now; but now all the "isms" are pumped up like they are on steroids and the stakes feel even higher. So it could not have been a better time for me to make my first ever album, specially as Youth and I do share that punky reggae dub-matic aesthetic, for life.""
