Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping out from the Moldy Peaches, the New York songwriter enveloped his bizarre, frequently vulgar lyricism in sweeping, 1960s-style orchestral pop. The crooning, Serge Gainsbourg-inspired vocal performances provide a hilarious contrast to his deliberately juvenile and surreal comedic narratives.
