Our Take

Julian Cope's "My Nation Underground" is a quirky time capsule of British eccentricity and psychedelic nostalgia. Cope, the unapologetically bizarre frontman of The Teardrop Explodes, has crafted an album that is as perplexing as it is charming.

From the opening track "Charlotte Anne," with its swirling guitars and Cope's distinctive vocals, it is clear that this album is going to take you on a wild ride. The quirky lyrics and off-kilter melodies make for a unique listening experience that will leave you scratching your head, but coming back for more.

Tracks like "Hell Is Wicked," with its funky bassline and hypnotic rhythms, showcase Cope's ability to create music that is both infectious and thought-provoking. The album's standout track, "Reynard the Fox," is a haunting ballad that will transport you to another time and place.

Overall, "My Nation Underground" is a reminder of why Julian Cope is considered a musical maverick. His willingness to push boundaries and experiment with different sounds and styles sets him apart from his peers. So, if you're in the mood for something a bit offbeat and unconventional, give this album a listen. You won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Julian Cope

Julian Cope is not just a musician, he’s a force of nature. With a career spanning over four decades, this psychedelic rock pioneer has proven time and time again that he’s not afraid to push boundaries and challenge the status quo. Cope first rose to fame as the frontman of The Teardrop Explodes in the late 70s and early 80s, with hits like "Reward" and "Treason" solidifying his reputation as a formidable songwriter and performer. But it wasn’t until he embarked on a solo career in the late 80s that he truly came into his own. Known for his eccentricity and offbeat sense of humor, Cope’s music is a blend of psychedelic rock, punk, and folk that defies categorization. His lyrics are often surreal and absurd, filled with references to ancient mythologies and esoteric beliefs. But don’t let that fool you – Cope is a serious artist with a sharp wit and a keen eye for social commentary. In recent years, Cope has continued to release music at a furious pace, with albums like "Drone Rock" and "Repossessed" garnering critical acclaim. But it’s his live performances that truly set him apart – a Cope show is a wild ride through the mind of a true musical maverick, complete with costumes, props, and plenty of audience participation. So if you’re looking for something a bit different, a bit weird, and a whole lot of fun, look no further than Julian Cope. He’s a true original in a sea of copycats, and he’s not afraid to let his freak flag fly.
