Album Notes & Community Reviews

The third solo effort from the former Supergrass frontman was largely self-produced and recorded in his home studio. Inspired heavily by Grayson Perry's book 'The Descent of Man', the record lyrically grapples with modern masculinity and vulnerability, wrapped in expansive, synthesizer-laden art rock arrangements.
