Intruder is Numans 18th solo studio album and follows 2017s Savage: Songs From A Broken World, which became his highest charting set in almost forty years when it debuted at #2 on the Official Albums Chart. That commercial success was complemented with wide-reaching critical acclaim from Mojo, The Quietus, PopMatters and more.Whereas Savage depicted earth as a barren wasteland in which humanity and culture had been largely crushed by the effects of global warming, Intruder presents a fresh but complementary narrative. Its a philosophical examination of a potential future apocalypse: the planet can only survive by purging its inhabitants.Intruder was recorded between sessions at Numans home studio in Los Angeles and at producer Ade Fentons studio in Bath. It represents their fifth studio album together after Jagged (2006), Dead Sun Rising (2011), Splinter (Songs From A Broken Mind) (2013) and Savage (Songs From A Broken World) (2017).Since coming to prominence with era-defining hits such as Cars and Are Friends Electric? (with Tubeway Army), Gary Numan has remained consistently creative and released a huge catalogue of work. His impact on electronic and alternative music has been hailed by pioneers such as Prince, David Bowie and Nine Inch Nails and remains impactful today, with Kanye West and Lady Gaga both crediting him as an influence. He was rewarded with the prestigious Inspiration Award at the Ivor Novellos in 2017 and shared his remarkable story with 2020s candid autobiography (R)evolution.Pre-ordering the forthcoming studio album assigns youaccessto a private area of the store where you receive Exclusive album text, audio and video updates from Gary as he sets off on the journey of recording the album.
