(…) the new album – which was produced by Soft Cell’s Dave Ball and Michael Heffernan – marks his first since 2011’s “Catholic” and is announced alongside it’s title track and an eponymous digital EP featuring two remixes and an instrumental version of the track.
Driven alternately by thundering electronics that recall the power of the Prunes and exquisite acoustics that reflect the beauty of his most recent solo work and soundtracks, Ecce Homo is an ecstatic and unbound expression of anger and independence, of severing oneself from stereotypes of what you’re supposed to be while also acknowledging that our hardest battles are often our collective ones. There are love songs and fight songs, reflections on loss and reveries of nostalgia, anthems for solidarity and excoriations of the powerful. Friday thinks it’s the most honest album he’s ever made; it is also his most riveting.
