Solo debut from the former lead singer for SHIVA BURLESQUE, Jeffrey Clark has a unique poetic vision, and this is a collection of recordings from 1992-1995 which range from garagey, SCOTT WALKER-style pop gems with plenty of cellos & violins through to the somewhat psychedelic guitar-based songs of the mid-period, and ending with his current work of prose and stories set to improved music.
