Heaven knows ‘E’ was miserable in 1998, but from his personal nightmare he wrenched an album full of humour, hope, and beauty.
Perfect. A truly difficult weepy feat to pull of but our boy E does it. A great rumination on death and mental illness by way of lo-fi (hiphop production informed?) indie pop. That description likely makes it sound like piss but please trust me it's not.
Under-appreciated at the time, even by myself to some degree - an established retrospective classic now.
Dark indeed - but it feels true to life and displays no small amount of compassion too.
