Farewell to the doomed romantics

by Sam Taplin

supported by

Will Tattersdill It is hard for me to keep track of the many reasons I love this fantastic record by Mr. Taplin. By turns dexterous, lyrical, sensitive, righteous, devastating, and stupid - a masterpiece. Favorite track: Relax; I'll handle the ghouls.
