Exene To Release New LP in Oct.

Ain't nothing gonna slow her down...

By Blurt Staff

Despite being diagnosed recently with MS, X frontwoman Exene Cervenka doesn't have any plans to slow down - she's got a new solo album due October 6 from Bloodshot. Titled Somewhere Gone it's described by the label as "all the passion of X without all the loud - a great combination, even for people who embrace the loud." See the artwork, above.

Exene, of course, has been multitasking for years - in addition to her work with X, she's performed with the Knitters, fronted her own band the Original Sinners, done spoken word (her appearances with Lydia Lunch back in the ‘80s remain the stuff of legend), penned several volumes of poetry and even had her drawings, paintings and collages exhibited a few years ago at the Santa Monica Museum of Art.

And she's announced her intentions to work with the Sweet Relief foundation to help raise money and awareness for MS - all we can say is, keep it coming, Exene, and we're looking forward to the new rec.
