Lupen Crook is a confused young man. In the press he’s occasionally depicted as being the kind of confused often associated with wayward genius. He is not. He is the kind of confused that leads to lyrical monstrosities like opener ‘Fantasist in March’. A song that is built around the unfortunate verse “Baby oh baby, I will never call you baby / But darling if you’re cheap / We will probably get on like a house on fire’. It does improve but this is the kind of record that attempts to make grand statements on almost everything while concurrently managing to say almost nothing. The one redeeming feature is backing band The Murderbirds, whose performance is credibly passionate given the pretentious nonsense they are often supporting. Jonathan Bradley
