Morrissey announces new album Low In High-School

Morrissey has announced details of his new album, called Low In High-School.

The singer, songwriter and author will release his 11th studio collection on November 17 after signing to BMG, in partnership with his new album Etienne Records. 

Morrissey last released an album in 2014, called World Peace Is None Of Your Business. The album reached Number 2 on the Official Albums Chart. 

Low In High-School was recorded at La Fabrique Studios in France and in Rome at Ennio Morricone’s Forum Studios. While Joe Chiccarelli has worked on the production.

Korda Marshall, EVP of BMG, said of the signing: “There are not many artists around today that can compare to Morrissey. He is an extraordinary talent. He is prodigious, literate, witty, elegant and above all, courageous.

"His lyrics, humour and melodies have influenced many generations. The music on this new landmark record will speak for itself and we are delighted to welcome him to BMG."

Low In High-School will be available as a digital download, physical CD, on coloured vinyl and a limited edition cassette. The singer will play the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on November 10.

Morrissey has notched up 12 UK Top 10 albums in his 30-year career, three of which reached Number 1: Viva Hate (1988), Vauxhall And I (1994) and Ringleader Of The Tormentors (2006).
