The former Stray Cat, now-Minneapolis resident, is releasing a new album of songs inspired by “’soundtracks from the ’40s and ’50s. They’re dramatic, they have just the pieces, like that, but they’re not entire songs,’” Setzer said. “‘Wow. It’d be cool if I wrote that kind of dark swing and made them into songs.’” The album will be released both digitally and, with a tip of the hat to the past, on vinyl next Tuesday.
