The Hot Press Newsdesk

Charlotte Hatherley comes over all-extracurricular on August 16 with the release through Double Dragon Records of her Grey Will Fade solo album.

"I made it while we were out in LA, in amongst the recording sessions for the new Ash album," she explains. "I got Rob Ellis in to help me which was cool – I really like what he's done with PJ Harvey. I recorded all the guitars and vocals and we had it finished in a month."

Hatherley also called on the production skills of Eric Drew Feldman who tie-dye wearers may remember from Captain Beefheart.

"A bit of XTC-style music with B-52s vocals was the aim," continues Charlotte who stresses that her number one priority is still Ash.

You can get a sneak preview of the opus on June 7 when 'Kim Wilde' is made available for free download at www.charlottehatherley.com

I Want You To Know

That Charlotte Hatherley managed to produce a solo album as complete and focused as Grey Will Fade while holding down a day job with Ash was no mean feat. Now with that pressure removed, the results so far haven’t suggested that this has been an entirely good thing. Like ‘Behave’ before it, ‘I Want You To Know’ is a jumble of ideas that never quite gel. Somewhere in here is a fine song – you’re just hard pushed to find it amongst the mess. Hatherley has the potential, if not the right, to become a rock icon – she’ll need to make better records than this if she’s to attain such a status.
