21 Sep '07 - 168 W - + 23 - 18 Siouxsie Sioux Goes Solo

The BBC talks to Siouxsie today about her new solo album...

"The time felt right to drop the bags, start again and leave the past truly behind," explains Sioux in her distinctive gravelly tones, adding that a live tour in 2004 was the long-burning inspiration for a new album. "It was totally different. The producers were also musicians so were hands-on. The way we worked was easy and direct.

“You know what's coming next when you're in a band, but this time some songs took complete turns and really surprised me. Everything was more intense and heightened," she adds. "I got into more fights when it was the band. I'm pretty much the boss lady, but we knew which way we were going this time which made things flow quickly."

The album, Mantaray, is out now in the UK and released in the US on 2 October. She will perform at the BBC Electric Proms in London on 24 October.
