Hmm, this Lord Cut-Glass bloke sounds like the bloke from The Delgados.. Hey! It IS the bloke from The Delgados! It's almost as though I didn't know that before I started the review! Currently he's doing a more gentle, homespun, almost music hall, take on the grandiosity his old band frequently had in them, contrasted with an earthy songwriting style favouring wordy and philosophically dry-humoured lyrics that are frequently bringing a smirk to my face.. There are some highly enjoyable little ditties on offer here I reckon. Self-titled CD and LP on Chemikal Underground (obv).

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

· Recording as Lord Cut-Glass, Alun Woodward,
formerly of The Delgados, releases his first album
since The Delgados’ ‘Universal Audio’ in 2004.
· Extraordinarily ambitious, ‘Lord Cut Glass’ was
written, arranged and in large part performed by
Woodward, recalling the orchestral grandeur of his
former band whilst forging a style of acerbic,
sardonic songwriting all of his own.
· Lord Cut Glass features galloping percussion,
waltzes, marches and promenades of male and
female harmony: delicate and serene creations
punctuated by casual profanity and shot through
with brazenly hilarious words-to-the-wise.
· UK tour planned for the summer.
· LP limited to 500 copies.
