There was a haunted twisted quality to The Auteurs debut album New Wave that bookmarked it within a tradition . Luke Haines has made any number of attempts of grand definitive artistic statements since but constantly overplayed his hand. Lemon sucking.
Here he parks himself in a queue of great British oddballs and non comformists to great effect. Dreamers, ascetics, Graham Greene. Patrick Hamilton. Tony Hancock, Peter Cook, Joe Orton,Brian Jones David Bowie, Peter Perrett. There's not a misplaced line. Not a hair out of place.
