M:FANS is the sixteenth solo studio album by Welsh musician and composer John Cale.
Produced by Cale, it features new versions of songs from his 1982 album Music for a New Society.
It was released in November 2015 and features Amber Coffman from Dirty Projectors.
[7] In a statement Cale recounted the process of making the album, and how the 2013 death of former bandmate and collaborator Lou Reed had informed it: Losing Lou [too painful to understand] forced me to upend the entire recording process and begin again...a different perspective - a new sense of urgency to tell a story from a completely opposite point of view - what was once sorrow, was now a form of rage.
A fertile ground for exorcism of things gone wrong and the realization they are unchangeable.
