Johnny Marr, who provided his distinctive liquid guitar sound to the Smiths and many others, returns with a solo album that shows not much has changed.
Orchestral and very intelligent singer-songwriter music that yields some very intricate arrangements without being overwhelming and overwrought.
Heady mix of folk, electronic and hip hop elements swirling together into something unique and accessible.
Dense arrangements make for some slowly emerging indie orchestral music. Disc 2 is the demo versions of the songs on Disc 1.
If you dig a big fat sawtooth wave riff standing in the front and nearly hitting you in the face with the mic stand, then Brighton's AK/DK has your number. Turn it up and ready yourself to spasm uncontrollably.
