Remember britpop? Whilst there was quite a bit of it worth forgetting, one nineties classic slipped under the radar somewhat then, and still seems to. Luke Haines' Auteurs were one of the more interesting and literate bands of that period. His songs were able to move seamlessly from post-glam or punk rock, to baroque pop, all with brilliantly incisive lyrics. After Murder Park was their masterpiece, a kind of tour of England's darker little corners: child murder, alcoholics...Try these two and then get the album. I promise you that you will never regret it.
As a bonus, here's a b-side acoustic version of another song on the album.
