by Martin Newell

The Greatest Living Englishman cover art

Produced by Andy Partridge of XTC, this solo release from the Cleaners from Venus frontman is a pristine, meticulously crafted homage to 1960s British psychedelic pop. The jangly, highly melodic arrangements expertly frame his wistful, deeply nostalgic narratives of English eccentricity and fading rural landscapes.
