New York, NY (Top40 Charts) FRANK TURNER today releases "Eye Of The Day", the latest new track to emerge from his forthcoming eighth album, NO MAN'S LAND, out August 16th on Xtra Mile Recordings/Polydor Records/Universal Music Canada, the country's leading music company, produced by Catherine Marks and featuring an all-female cast of musicians. Frank has recently revealed details for a 9 date UK headline tour showcasing material from the new project - including two sold-out dates at London's Alexandra Palace Theatre on November 30 and December 3, 2019. The tour will see Turner put a new twist on his formidable live set up, featuring a solo set followed by an unplugged band performance in seated venues.

Arriving alongside the fourth episode in Frank's popular companion podcast series, 'Tales From No Man's Land', "Eye Of The Day" pays tribute to the life of Mata Hari in one of the album's most starkly affecting tracks. Originally born Margaretha Zelle in late 1800s Netherlands, Mata Hari became celebrated as a dancer in turn-of-the-century Paris, taking her stage name from an Indonesian term meaning 'Eye Of The Day'. Following the outbreak of World War One, however, Mata Hari was arrested by the French authorities on suspicion of involvement in espionage, and following a perfunctory trial was identified as 'Agent H21' and executed.

No Man's Land is dedicated to the vital stories of women from history whose lives have all too often been overlooked by dint of their gender. Hailing from across wide geographical and historical lines, they also include Byzantine princess Kassiani (The Hymn of Kassiani), Egyptian feminist activist Huda Sha'arawi (The Lioness), and Resusci Anne (Rescue Annie) an apocryphal drowned virgin whose face was used as the model for the medical CPR mannequin across the world. There's the serial killer from the Deep South who plucked her victims from lonely hearts pages (Nannie Doss), the jazz-obsessed heiress who fought for the Free French (Nica Rothschild) and a rowdy coach house landlady from 17th century Camden Town accused of witchcraft (Jinny Bingham).
"It's bringing together my two main interests in life, which have always been separate from each other - history and songwriting," explains Turner, who can be found seeking out long-forgotten historical sites on self-guided psychogeographical strolls when he's not packing out arenas or headlining festivals.

The 'Tales From No Man's Land' podcast is available from Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Acast and all other podcast platforms.

NO MAN'S LAND features thirteen tracks:
Jinny Bingham's Ghost
Sister Rosetta
I Believed You, William Blake
Nica
A Perfect Wife
Silent Key
Eye of the Day
The Death of Dora Hand
The Graveyard of the Outcast Dead
The Lioness
The Hymn of Kassiani
Rescue Annie
Rosemary Jane
