Our Take

Luke Haines, the cheeky mastermind behind The Auteurs and Black Box Recorder, teams up with REM's own Peter Buck to deliver a delightfully eccentric collaboration that is as bonkers as it is brilliant.

"Beat Poetry For Survivalists" is a wild ride through Haines' signature wit and Buck's iconic jangly guitar work, creating a sound that is part folk, part post-punk, and all shades of weird.

From the earworm-inducing "Jack Parsons" to the hauntingly beautiful "Last of the Legendary Bigfoot Hunters," this album is a rollercoaster of emotions that never ceases to surprise and delight.

Haines' sardonic lyrics are as sharp as ever, with his dry humour shining through on tracks like "Angel of the North" and "Rock 'n' Roll Ambulance." Buck's guitar work is the perfect complement, adding a layer of depth and texture to each song.

While some may be put off by the album's off-kilter charm, those who appreciate Haines' quirky sensibilities and Buck's impeccable musicianship will find plenty to love here.

"Beat Poetry For Survivalists" is a testament to the enduring creativity of both Haines and Buck, proving that even in the ever-changing landscape of music, there is still room for the weird and wonderful. Don't miss out on this gem of an album – it's a true musical adventure from start to finish.
