Strychnine

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Infusing his signature Victorian and Edwardian obsessions with a more robust, rock-oriented sound, the eccentric British songwriter crafted a captivating collection of macabre narratives. 'Strychnine' employs baroque strings, archaic instrumentation, and swirling psychedelic touches to score tales of poisoners, eccentric inventors, and the supernatural. The album further cemented his reputation as a master of peculiar, historically inspired dark-folk storytelling.
