Posthumous Mark Stewart (The Pop Group) album announced: hear “Memory of You” ft Hollie Cook

The Pop Group‘s Mark Stewart had just finished completing a new solo album before his death in 2023, and its release has now been announced. The Fateful Symmetry will be out July 11 via Mute.

The album’s first single is “Memory of You,” a darkwave torch song co-produced by Mark and Youth of Killing Joke, and featuring backing vocals by Hollie Cook. Mark said of the song, “There’s a way of using a love song as a Trojan Horse, putting sugar on the poison to invade people’s minds. On the surface, it’s about if I’d only loved [but] it’s about longing and dreaming of a better world. For me love is a political act.”

You can watch the video, directed by Peter Harris and Hugo Glendinning, below.
