Album Notes & Community Reviews
Working with Mitchell Froom's highly polished, punchy production, the veteran British guitarist balances his acerbic wit with slick late-eighties instrumentation. The tracks range from dizzying electric solos to intricate acoustic ballads, exploring deeply cynical political narratives and profound personal betrayals.
