Gavin Friday shares new track “Stations of the Cross”

October 2, 2024

Today, Gavin Friday has shared a new track titled “Stations Of The Cross”. The song is taken from his highly anticipated new solo album Ecce Homo. Out 25^th October via BMG, the new album – which was produced by Soft Cell’s Dave Ball and Michael Heffernan – marks his first since 2011’s “Catholic” and was recently announced alongside it’s title track and an eponymous digital EP featuring two remixes and an instrumental version of the track.

As with the prior single “Ecce Homo“, Friday has teased the new track with mysterious posts written in Ogham – an ancient runic language that was used in Ireland and parts of the UK between the 5th and 9th centuries – alongside an image of a crown of thorns.

Whereas “Ecce Homo” spotlighted the pulverising and triumphant sound of the album, the pulsing and doleful new excerpt “Stations Of The Cross” leans more into gothic, ballad territory with ambulating industrial rhythms, pensive horns, and palpitating synth work. Thematically, it is a tormented love song, centred around a relationship caught in a viscous circle. The track is dedicated to the late great Sinead O’Connor, who was a friend of Gavin.

The album Ecce Homo will be released on 25^th October via BMG on ltd. edition transparent blue vinyl as well as a deluxe CD package featuring an exclusive 28-page booklet and bonus material. The album will be available everywhere digitally including two exclusive remixes.
