Album Notes & Community Reviews

After struggling with profound excess in his early solo career, Cope returned with a focused, incredibly polished set of eccentric pop songs. 'Saint Julian' frames his idiosyncratic 1960s acid-rock fixations within a stadium-ready, synthesizer-backed production that resulted in his greatest commercial breakthrough.
