Lord Cut-glass

recording as lord cut-glass, alun woodward, formerly of the delgados, releases his first album since the delgados' 'universal audio' in 2004. extraordinarily ambitious, 'lord cut-glass' was written, arranged and in large part performed by woodward, recalling the orchestral grandeur of his former band whilst forging a style of acerbic, sardonic songwriting all of his own. 'lord cut-glass' features galloping percussion, waltzes, marches and promenades of male and female harmony: delicate and serene creations punctuated by casual profanity and shot through with brazenly hilarious words-to-the-wise.
