Berlin based Scottish singer-songwriter and producer Rudi Zygadlo<\/a> is set to release his second full-length entitled Tragicomedies<\/em>.
\nThe album will be released on September 17th via Planet Mu<\/a> and it follows his 2010’s debut Great Western Laymen<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the release, Zygadlo dropped last week the lead single ‘Melopomene’, a beautiful ballad named after a Greek Muse. The single is available digitally and on vinyl, and it features the B-side ‘Arrows’.
\n‘Melopomene’ “works a wonderful alchemy with acoustic instrumentation and dramatic suture-like edits with a gauzy side-compressed production, over which a tempered tale of love lost unravels among Rudi\u2019s fragile harmonies”, according to the issued press release. “The track builds to a middle passage, as piano and accordion duel with a beautiful grace in an almost neo-classical passage before the penny drops on the outro and the sadness hinted at before dramatically plays out in the song’s chorus.”<\/p>\n

‘Melopomene’ comes with a video, directed by Nick Rutter. Check it out beneath.<\/p>\n
