No retirement for the 80-year-old JOHN CALE.

The Welsh icon just announced the release of his 17th solo longplayer. It’s called MERCY and lands on 20 January 2023 via Double Six/Domino. Cale already shared a taster with first single Night Crawling a few weeks ago.

The album features a cool club of guests. Animal Collective, Sylvan Esso, Laurel Halo, Tei Shi, Actress, and yes, Fat White Family too. The news comes with a another new track named STORY OF BLOOD. A 7-and-a-half minute piano ballad featuring American songstress Weyes Blood who co-sings at times.

It comes with a bloodcurdling video clip.
