Tender Pervert

by Momus

Tender Pervert cover art

Embracing synthesize-driven arrangements, the provocative Scottish songwriter abandoned his earlier acoustic style to craft a heavily stylized, taboo-breaking persona. The record is characterized by deeply literate, voyeuristic, and darkly humorous lyrical themes exploring sexual deviance and social hypocrisy. It established his unique aesthetic as a highly controversial, hyper-intellectual chronicler of underground culture.
