Paul Draper, singer of Mansun one of the 90s best (no indie disco was complete without a blast of ‘Wide Open Space’, which still goes down a storm at This Feeling now) and most influential bands, has announced details of a melodic, enchanting new single ‘Things People want’ of the release of his long awaited debut solo LP due out Aug 11th.

On this evidence, as per the majority of Paul’s output with Mansun, it looks we can expect a very special collection of songs.
