From the Chemikal Underground website:-
In 2009 Lord Cut Glass, the alter-ego of our very own Alun Woodward (label boss and ex-Delgado), delivered us an album that had been four years in the making; written, arranged and largely performed by Woodward, the album was a beguilingly eclectic and hugely flamboyant affair.
Sometimes bashful, occasionally imbued with curmudgeonly bluster, and yet always lifted by humorous life learned truisms, Lord Cut-Glass struck a dashing figure of musically inventive bravado. Galloping percussion, waltzes and marches, promenades of male and female harmony: delicate and serene creations punctuated by casual profanity and shot through with brazenly hilarious words-to-the-wise. It was one of a kind and quite brilliant.
That last sentence nails it. One of a kind and brilliant. An album that never gets boring and throws up something new with every single listen.
Here’s the debut single that was lifted from it:-
mp3 : Lord Cut-Glass – Look After Your Wife
And the animated promo for its equally fabulous follow-up….although it was never given an actual physical release as a single:-
Note the use of the word ‘motherblaster’ in this version (just after the 1:30 mark); it wasn’t the word used on the album version……
