What an explosive debut by John Grant, having a lovely edge of humor and serious tone for a nice balance certain around John Grant coming to terms about his sexuality and all the bittersweet, sad and lonely moments which came about with it for quite an emotional record and with midlake collaborating alongside this record gives it so much more edge and allows Grant voice to be uplifted.

Solid singer songwriter record. A little front heavy but a solid album nonetheless
I wanted to change the world but I couldn't even change my underwear. - Queen of Denmark
That line still gets me all the time. Beautiful, funny, poignant record. You won me over with this one, John.
