Arriving alongside the fourth episode in Frank\u2019s popular companion podcast series,\u00a0\u2018Tales From No Man\u2019s Land\u2019<\/span><\/b>, \u2018Eye Of The Day\u2019 pays tribute to the life of Mata Hari in one of the album\u2019s 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 \u2018Eye Of The Day\u2019. 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 \u2018Agent H21\u2019 and executed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018No Man\u2019s Land\u2019<\/span><\/b>\u00a0is 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\u2019s 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).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s bringing together my two main interests in life, which have always been separate from each other – history and songwriting,\u201d explains Turner, who can be found seeking out long-forgotten historical sites on self-guided psychogeographical strolls when he\u2019s not packing out arenas or headlining festivals.<\/p>\n
