Initial excitement was thrust upon the young \u003cstrong\u003eAlison Statton\u003c\/strong\u003e, who sang songs written by Stuart with a couple of exceptions. The unaffected tone of her voice was in steep contrast to the typical goings-on in that still quite punky time, but it was what she sang that fully sold it. Moxham’s lyrics were both intensely personal and woefully oblique. There seemed to be a sort of story in there. Confusingly, that story often felt like it was Alison’s rather than the fellow who’d penned it. The unexpected miracle a deal with \u003cstrong\u003eRough Trade\u003c\/strong\u003e and the album’s subsequent success had the band stymied for a second act and it wasn’t long before the group disintegrated, although circumstances often brought members and a few of their peers - among them \u003cstrong\u003eDebbie Pritchard\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eSpike Williams\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a third Moxham brother, \u003cstrong\u003eDrew\u003c\/strong\u003e. - \u003cstrong\u003ePhil Moxham\u003c\/strong\u003e was the band’s bassist - together in odd combinations and pairings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNone of the three \u003cstrong\u003eYMG\u003c\/strong\u003e members have been especially prolific, but it’s Stuart’s career that has seemed the least straightforward, as if he’d wondered, “What to do when your debut is a nearly perfect artefact?” In the case of his first “solo” full-length in thirty years, Stuart took the unusual step of entering an alien studio with American producer \u003cstrong\u003eDave Trumfio\u003c\/strong\u003e (who’s also the leader of Pulsars and bassist for Mekons) and allowing him to decide what tracks (of a large number submitted by Stuart) to record, and how they’d be orchestrated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOr not. In this case - save for the writing and composing - it’s really Dave’s album as much as Stuart’s. The tracks went with Dave back to LA, where they were mixed, a few parts added (including subtle backing vocals from the incredible \u003cstrong\u003eLinda Smith\u003c\/strong\u003e) . . . then later unmixed and reworked by \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Henderson\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eRoni Ayala\u003c\/strong\u003e back in Valencia. Both versions will be made available, and both have a compelling cohesion missing from some of Stuart’s work since YMG. Stuart’s minimalism is quite intact, the range of emotions quite wide. There are few artists operating today like Stuart Moxham, a composer of the upper echelon of innate talent who combines avant-garde ideas with deceptively forthright personal lyrics, solid hooks, ambience and vaguely off-centre instrumentation which defies the casual marketplace as confoundingly as it ever did to the underground, whatever that is these days. His songs have been admired and \/ covered by everyone from Lush to Kurt Cobain, adaptations in Japanese and even a French-language hit by Etienne Daho, adaptations by Hole, Galaxie 500, Magnetic Fields, Belle And Sebastian and many others - but a new Stuart Moxham album is a special kind of joy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.
