  • Leyland Kirby will release a new album as The Stranger on Modern Love called Watching Dead Empires In Decay. Kirby, who also produces as The Caretaker, was once described by Philip Sherburne as "a trickster, some bastard spawn of GG Allin, Andy Kaufman and Negativland, who records wry, antagonistic electronic music," though he's also responsible for a growing catalogue of richly textured ambient and experimental compositions. Modern Love is billing the record—the producer's first as The Stranger since 2008's Bleaklow—as a journey through "sheets of metal scraped and hammered." It'll be the second album on Modern Love this year, following April's Faint Hearted LP from label regular Miles Whittaker. Tracklist 01. We Are Enemies But Not Here 02.
