Ladyhawke to appear on Burgess solo LP

Tim Burgess has announced that Ladyhawke will sing on his upcoming second solo album.

The Charlatans frontman told Spinner UK that the New Zealand born singer-songwriter will be one of the guests to feature on the follow up to 2003's I Believe.

As he told DS in June, Burgess also confirmed that he had been working with members of other bands on the record.

"I've been working with Josh, the guitarist from The Horrors, and Stefan, the drummer from the Klaxons, and right now we can only do stuff when our other bands aren't doing things," Burgess said.

"But when we do get together, it's really explosive and it'll be well worth waiting for. I've also got Ladyhawke singing on it."

He added that the album is slated for release in 2011 and continued: "Musically, it's going to sound like all of our bands put together.

"It'll definitely be different from my first solo album because I made that with session musicians from Los Angeles and this is being made with people from New Zealand and London. It'll have a European flavour with a New Zealand twist."

Ladyhawke is currently working on the follow-up to her own self-titled debut album, which was released in 2008.
