Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking his official solo debut, the former Pulp frontman delivers a collection of razor-sharp, sardonic observations on contemporary society and personal neuroses. The arrangements are relatively raw and stripped back, highlighting his distinctive baritone and dry lyrical wit. It proved to be a highly successful creative reset following the dissolution of his legendary Britpop outfit.
