Album Notes & Community Reviews
The Bauhaus and Love and Rockets bassist embraces a stripped-down, acoustic-driven format for his sophomore solo outing. The record's cabaret-tinged arrangements and sardonic, theatrical lyricism reveal a deep appreciation for the European singer-songwriter tradition, distancing him from his gothic rock origins.
