Avant-garde performance artist, electronic music trailblazer, and all-around radical-thought-and-action paragon Cosey Fanni Tutti has announced her second (ever [!]) solo album, titled TUTTI. 36 years removed from her debut release Time to Tell, the LP will arrive on February 9 via Conspiracy International.
Best known as a founding member of industrial pioneers Throbbing Gristle, as well as half of the electronic duo which sprang from the ashes of that band — Chris and Cosey — Tutti began her career in the arts as a performer in the Dada-inspired collective COUM Transmissions. In 2017, the collective’s retrospective opened in its birthplace of Hull, England, during which Tutti performed eight pieces composed earlier for an autobiographical documentary Harmonic Coumaction. The eight tracks, updated and re-recorded, will form the upcoming album.
Tutti’s riveting autobiography, Art Sex Music, was released in 2017. Be sure to check it out to learn more about the artist’s fascinating life, including that one time when, as an elementary school kid, she stood up to a bully with garden sheers (as directed by her father).
