Album Notes & Community Reviews

The legendary Velvet Underground co-founder completely embraces modern electronic production, utilizing an array of synthesizers and drum machines to frame his surprisingly tender vocal performances. The eclectic, highly atmospheric art-pop tracks balance reflections on a tumultuous past with a remarkably warm, optimistic gaze toward the future.
