Roddy will be performing at the Barbican Centre on December 4th. Pre-sale tickets are available on June 5, and general ticket sales begin June 6. Brutalist architecture meets finely honed pop sensibilities in a battle for your very soul! Or a quality night out, anyway.
Roddy's new album, Seven Dials, is out today. Download it from iTunes, order it on vinyl — complete with CD version and bonus live CD — from AED records, or buy it at a record store near you.
Uncut magazine says the album “seamlessly weaves many of the best elements of Frame's past into a work of consummate craftsmanship.” And Q gives it four stars, saying “melodies unfold, lyrics reveal their meaning and the wait is revealed has having been worth it.”
Roddy's curated a playlist of “songs with a sense of place" for Q magazine. It'll take you from Willesden to Cricklewood, New York to Los Angeles, New Orleans to a place called Huelva, where an angel sings flamenco.
Roddy plays a few songs in the studio and talks to Monocle about nostalgia, future plans, and roughly how long he spends in the bath.
Roddy has announced dates for a winter tour of the U.K. Pre-sale tickets are available Wednesday, April 30th, and all tickets go on sale Friday, May 2nd, for the following shows:

For the first time ever, AED Records is pressing vinyl copies of Roddy's Surf and Western Skies exclusively for purchase on Record Store Day, this Saturday, April 19. It's never too early to start the queue. (Actually, it probably is. Unless you bring sandwiches.)
If you're feeling kinda California, best fire up this song from Roddy's upcoming album Seven Dials.
Roddy talks more about the new album, gives advice to young musicians regarding comfy seating options in New Orleans, and promises to take Stuart guitar shopping.
