“Pøliticz” by Kevin Coyne - album review

TJR says

Following 1981’s “Pointing The Finger”, this was Kevin Coyne’s second LP for Cherry Red Records. Despite personal battles against alcoholism, divorce and a nervous breakdown he seemed able to somehow forge ahead regardless. The album features guitar played by Peter Kirtley (generally decent enough) and synthesizer parts played by Steve Bull (kinda cheap sounding). Kevin Coyne added his vocal parts later. His expressive vocals and interesting lyrics continue to offer an oddball charm of sorts, but these musical stylings are some way below the great man’s watermark…
