Former Velvet Underground man John Cale has announced the release of his 16th studio album, ‘Shifty Adventures in Nookie Wood’ due for release on 1st October 2012 via Double Six Records.

Shifty Adventures… is the result of sessions held at Cale’s LA studio. Days were spent experimenting with MPCs, pounding fists onto pianos, manipulating glitches and lots of signature viola drone while patiently waiting for songs to reveal themselves. There was also a spontaneous session with Danger Mouse to create the opening track ‘I Wanna Talk 2 U’.

1.   I Wanna Talk 2 U                         2.  Scotland Yard
