The End Records will release, It's What I'm Thinking Pt. 1 - Photographing Snowflakes, the new Badly Drawn Boy album on October 12 in North American, with a late autumn stateside tour to follow. Penning the soundtrack to last year's Caroline Aherne film The Fattest Man in Britain sparked a period of unprecedented creativity for Badly Drawn Boy, aka Damon Gough, resulting in a wealth of great new songs. Gough decided the best way to capture this surge, and give the songs the exposure they deserved, was to release a trilogy of albums.
The trilogy is called It's What I'm Thinking and Part 1 – Photographing Snowflakes will be released on October 4 in the UK (on his own One Last Fruit label) and October 12 in North America on The End Records.
The first single, "Too Many Miracles" will be released digitally in the US on an exclusive iTunes sampler from The End Records on August 24. The single will be released in the UK on September 27. Fans can hear a demo version of the lead track on the album, "In Safe Hands," on http://www.myspace.com/badlydrawnboy.
Badly Drawn Boy has released four studio albums – the Mercury-winning The Hour of the Bewilderbeast, Have You Fed The Fish? (2002), One Plus One Is One (2004) and Born In The UK (2006) – and two film soundtracks, About A Boy (2002, from the film of the same name) and Is There Nothing We Could Do? (2009, from the Caroline Aherne film The Fattest Man In Britain).
