No Thyself by Magazine

No Thyself is the fifth and final studio album by the band Magazine, and the first since their 2009 reformation. It was released on the Wire-Sound label on 24 October 2011, about 30 years after the release of their previous studio album, Magic, Murder and the Weather.Bass guitarist Barry Adamson, while still remaining a member of Magazine, did not participate in the making of No Thyself due to prior obligations in film music. Guitarist John McGeoch had died in 2004. Both musicians were important in previous lineups. Pete Shelley, who had founded the Buzzcocks with Magazine singer Howard Devoto and co-wrote several early Magazine songs, contributed to the writing of the first track. The album cover features the painting The Misshapen Polyp Floated on the Shores, a Sort of Smiling and Hideous Cyclops by French artist Odilon Redon.
