And The Unicorn is the first solo album from Robots In Disguise Sue Denim, to be released on 13th August 2012 on Sue’s own label, Superhealthy.
And The Unicorn is Sue’s 10-song début solo release. Recorded and co-produced in North Wales with award-winning producer/mixer David Wrench (Bear In Heaven, Caribou, The School, James Yorkston, Y Niwl), And The Unicorn presents a mixture of simple and honest tracks that are less typical singer-songwriter and more nostalgic pop – sometimes reminiscent of a female Syd Barrett, Jonathan Richman, or Kevin Ayers.
Sue Denim has had plenty of electro fun, touring the world and releasing four albums as one half of Robots In Disguise in the Noughties, as well as acting in cult TV comedy series The Mighty Boosh. On this album, Denim has swapped the synths for seagull cries (‘The Plan’) and drum machines for a toy drum kit (‘Bicycle’) on her adventure into a warm, dreamy and sometimes poignant celebration of life, love, books, bicycles and boys on film, delivering a unique view of the world through her easy, free flowing melodies and lyrics.
