What does it sound like?:
Julian Copes output in the noughties onwards is very variable at best. I made the mistake of buying his 70 minute ambient mellotron album last year that is an exercise of torture
However I read a few things that suggested this was a “proper” album and indeed it is. There’s only “Me and the Jews” that sounds like he made it up as he goes along The rest are proper vintage Cope with proper melodies and everything. Bits of it remind me of Fried
It doesn’t appear to be on any streaming services or been reviewed anywhere. I only knew it was coming out as I’m on his Twitter account. Would be a crying shame for it to disappear into the ether and not be heard, but I’d get why people gave up on him years ago considering the volume of dirge he puts out at times
It’s very low fi ala Skellington of course but I’d say this is his best album in 20 years plus. If only he’d tour again…
What does it all *mean*?
The old bugger still has it in there somewhere
Goes well with…
