Badly Drawn Boy releases his new album ‘It’s What I’m, Thinking Part One – Photographing Snowflakes’and single ‘Too Many Miracles’ this coming Monday 4^th October.

The album will be released on download, CD, double CD, numbered vinyl, and deluxe box set.  The double CD includes a bonus disc of ‘It’s What He’s Thinking (Oxidising Hexagons Silver Iodide – Album Re-Dux / Sound Collage by Andy Votel)’, put together by long term BDB collaborator Votel.  He’s taken the album, pulled it apart and put it back together again, adding his own magic to create one long piece of amazing music.

Then, a number of acts from the North West of England will feature on ‘It’s What They’re Thinking’. This album is a version of the forthcoming BDB album that has been created to promote various musical talent from around Damon’s home town. It’s a real musical melting pot, showcasing a broad range of styles from some of the best up and coming acts the North West has to offer and will be available in the limited edition deluxe box set of the new album. The box set can only be bought from BDB’s online store here: http://bit.ly/9D5AVw. If you pre-order the album, you get an instant download of the album.
