Morrissey Seems to Have Outdone Himself Once Again
The covers of the last two Morrissey albums, You Are the Quarry and Ringleader of the Tormentors, have featured the former Smiths frontman cradling a gun and a violin, respectively.
The cradling tradition continues with the cover for his forthcoming album Years of Refusal, as according to the Morrissey fan site Morrissey-solo, it features Moz cradling...a baby. And sporting some sort of growth that vaguely resembles Beyoncé's robot finger prosthetic. We're sure there's some sort of symbolic meaning behind all of this...perhaps something religious?
As previously reported, Years of Refusal was produced by the late Jerry Finn, and is due out on Polydor. Morrissey-solo reports that it will be released February 16 in the UK, with lead single "I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris" out February 9. It was originally supposed to be released this fall, but various delays-- including Morrissey's split with his management-- have pushed it back.
None of this has been confirmed yet, so stay tuned. But even if it turns out that that isn't the Years of Refusal cover artwork, it brings comfort to know that such an image exists in this world.
Thanks to Jon Yslas for the tip!
