Ex The Auteurs, Black Box Recorder, Baader Meihnof….  on aurait tendance à oublier que Luke Haines navigue en solo depuis près de 15 ans, même si sa carrière demeure semi-confidentielle par chez nous. Excellente idée donc du label Cherry Red que de sortir une anthologie consacrée à la carrière solo de ce brillant songwriter britannique. Flanquée d’un titre à rallonge (comme de tradition), Luke Haines Is Alive And Well And Living In Buenos Aires: Heavy Frenz The Solo Anthology 2001-2017 sortira le 29 septembre sous format 4 cds ( à pris raisonnable, 20 €) et contiendra son lot de B-sides, sessions radio, raretés et un livret rédigé par Luke Haines en personne. Tracklisting et vidéo bande-annonce ci-dessous :
