Gossip star Beth Ditto has released a teaser for her forthcoming debut solo EP.

The as-yet-untitled EP has been produced by Simian Mobile Disco and is due out in January via Deconstruction Records.

The sampler, which is available for streaming below, marks a departure from Ditto’s punk-background towards Simian Mobile Disco's familiar electro.

It will arrive just over a year after Gossip released their last album 'Music For Men'. It is not currently clear whether Ditto plans to release a solo album in addition to the EP.
