Synopsis

Album Description

A pop voyage through a continent of heartbreak and guilt. Compared by critics to artists as diverse as Leonard Cohen, David Bowie nd Tom Waits, Spottiswoode writes direct bare-bones lyrics, and delivers them in "a deep rough-hewn voice" (New Yorker). Produced by Peter Fox, UGLY LOVE combines an assortment of musical textures: guitars, strings, accordion, bazouki, horns, lap steel, gospel vocals, sitar. Still, the record remains spare and uncluttered, achieving "an astringent beauty" (Washington Post).

CD Reviews

Live Performance of the Year

09/09/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I see probably 100 live shows a year. Spottiswoode and His Enemies played a show at Arlene's Grocery last month that was clearly in the top 3 this year. Don't miss them. The record is a bit more restrained than the live show, but entirely enjoyable. Buy this record."
