John Cale Returns With New Single, ‘Lazy Day’

It follows on from his recent collaboration with Kelly Lee Owens

John Cale has shared a new single, ‘Lazy Day’.

Speaking about the new track, Cale says that he had been ready to finish work on a new album this year before the COVID-19 pandemic halted his plans. "As a songwriter my truth is all tied-up in and through those songs that must wait a while longer," he says. "And then it occurred to me that I do have something for the moment, a song I’d recently completed. With the world careening out of its orbit, I wanted to stop the lurch and enjoy a period where we can take our time and breathe our way back into a calmer world."

‘Lazy Day’ comes off the back of a recent collaboration with Kelly Lee Owens on the track ‘Corner Of My Sky’, which was released on the latter’s latest album in August. You can watch a video for the new song, featuring a pink-haired Cale, above.

‘Lazy Day’ is out now on Domino.
