![]() Róisín Murphy is back with Hairless Toys, her first album in eight years. The follow-up to Overpowered comes out May 11 via Play It Again Sam. The lead track, "Gone Fishing", was inspired by the film Paris Is Burning. Listen to it above. Below, find the album tracklist. Murphy has also announced a string of live shows. Check out the list below. Said Murphy in a press release: This song was written after I watched the documentary film Paris Is Burning, having read an article which referenced it in a discussion about House music's origins in black, gay culture. I was deeply moved by this film. 'I had to run this far from home' - it's about the outcasts who could never fit into mainstream society and how they created a safe place in the drag 'Ball' scene of New York in the ‘80s. 'Will we live on? The children of La Beija' refers to the 'house' of Pepper La Beija, who was one of the most notable figures on the scene, Pepper is also quoted in Malcolm McLaren's song on the same subject 'Deep In Vogue'. The culture was a flamboyant reaction to persecution and disillusionment, the imagination and bravery of these kids is simply awe-inspiring. I envisioned 'Gone Fishing' almost as a song from a Broadway musical version of this story. The making of one's own world, a safer world and the creation of a new, better family in music or youth culture is a theme I touch upon elsewhere on my album Hairless Toys. Hairless Toys: 01 Gone Fishing 02 Evil Eyes 03 Exploitation 04 Uninvited Guest 05 Exile 06 House of Glass 07 Hairless Toys (Gotta Hurt) 08 Unputdownable 05-16 London, England - Roundhouse 05-22 Amsterdam, Netherlands - Paradiso 05-23 Brussels, Belgium - Ancienne Belgique 05-24 Mannheim, Germany - Maifield Derby 05-30 Hamburg, Germany - Große Freiheit 36 05-31 Berlin, Germnay - Berlin Festival 06-19 Barcelona, Spain - Sonar Festival 06-26 Werchter, Belgium - The Barn 09-05 Dublin, Ireland - Electric Picnic 09-13 Isle of Wight, England - Bestival http://pitchfork.com/news/58494-roisin-murphy-announces-hairless-toys-lp-shares-gone-fishing/ |

Aye, that new song is not doing it for me. Looks like this album is going to be more in the vein of "Ruby Blue" than "Overpowered". |

Brilliantly unhinged video for the new single. I get it's not a great "song" but I am loving this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjSwFsPCeJ4 |

Her album has actually grown on me quite a bit. There are clearly no "big tunes", but it's a slinky listen all the same. The official release date is next week, but oddly it was available in HMV today for some reason. I picked up a copy. Lovely visuals. Farrow did a great job as always. |

I'm really looking forward to hearing it. Am going to see her in Glasgow later on this year. She was absolutely sensational last time I saw her. |

Gave this a few spins today. I do like it but, at this stage, I'm more minded to feel it's an album full of great bits rather than great songs. I know it completely defeats the purpose of what she was going for, but if some of these tracks were edited down to a more manageable length they would be positively served. I'll keep going with it, though. It's definitely got something. It's currently 29 on iTunes. That is MUCH higher than I ever thought it would get. It's got a good chance of charting in the UK, based on that. |

Not feeling that set list at all. All of my favourite tracks by her ("Movie Star", "Momma's Place", "Overpowered", "You Know Me Better", her cover of "Slave to Love") are missing. |
