Peter Murphy - Laying On New Waves - Boxset

Housed in premium packaging and presented in a deluxe rigid bookcase-style box, this collection has been designed as a comprehensive archival edition for collectors and long-time fans alike.

Laying On New Waves brings together four acclaimed studio albums: ‘Dust’, ‘Unshattered’, ‘Ninth’ and ‘Lion’. Alongside these are a dedicated collection of ‘Lion’ remixes featuring contributions from Youth and Richard Thorne, plus three substantial live releases documenting different chapters of Murphy’s career.

At the heart of the set is an extensive hardback book featuring newly commissioned writing and rare archival material. Acclaimed author and broadcaster John Robb contributes an in-depth essay exploring Murphy's remarkable creative evolution, while ANOHNI provides a personal foreword reflecting on Murphy's enduring artistic influence. Long-time collaborator and producer Youth offers his own perspective on Murphy's fearless musical journey and creative partnership.

The book also includes a brand-new interview with Peter Murphy, offering fresh insight into the making of the albums, alongside previously unpublished family photographs, rare studio and live images, and archival material drawn from throughout the period. Stylishly art-directed throughout, the package reflects the elegant visual aesthetic that has always accompanied Murphy's music.

Spanning atmospheric studio masterpieces, intimate live performances and late-career creative peaks, the collection captures Murphy's singular artistic vision across more than fifteen years of inspired and inspiring work.

This collection charts an artist who has continually reinvented himself while remaining unmistakably unique.
