Lord Cut-Glass “Lord Cut-Glass”

It’s Alun Woodward from The Delgados. The music is standard indie rock with a fun edge. You can tell the band does not take itself too seriously, but the attention to detail is not necessarily lacking. They work really hard on goofing off so effortlessly.
“Even Jesus Couldn’t Love You” gets the album off to a good start. I don’t know what you’re supposed to do while listening to this, so that must mean you’re supposed to do drugs.
“Look After Your Wife” has great backing vocals. And Woodward’s lead vocals are no slouch either. Whatever accent that is is mixed really high on this one. “I’m a Great Example to the Dogs” is a clever name, and it’s a tight-knit song, but it doesn’t really jump out at you either.
“Be Careful What You Wish for” is an excellent story. And with just piano during most of the song, it makes it easy to follow along. Hell hath no fury like a Lord Cut-Glass scorned.
“Toot Toot” is a waltz, which is awesome, and it sounds like IBOPA, which is even more awesome. Clearly this is supposed to be Lord Cut-Glass being weird, but it is also one of the more remarkable songs.
