New striking strokes
23 March 2025
Scottish pop-rock-folk band THE WATERBOYS orchestrated
by Mike Scott told us at the start of 2025, that they canned
their 16th longplayer.
A sort of concept one, glorifying the late notorious actor Dennis Hopper.
It is named Life, Death and Dennis Hopper and features guests Bruce
Springsteen, Steve Earle, Fiona Apple and Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes.
Release date: 4 April.

Following marvellous songs Hopper’s On Top (Genius), Andy (A Guy Like You)
and I Don’t How I Made It Scott presents another beauty with torch ballad
LETTER FROM AN UNKNOWN GIRLFRIEND.
It features American songstress Fiona Apple, who covered The Waterboys‘ signature
tune ‘The Whole Of The Moon’ in 2019 for TV Show The Affair, in a stupendous vocal duet with Scott. Wowzers. What a stupefying performance.
