Produced by él Records fixture Louis Philippe and featuring XTC’s Dave Gregory on guitar, it’s a vivid snapshot of Newell’s life with a French chanson-inspired ease. A longtime fan of French music, Newell sought a Gallic quality on this record – with the vocal riding at the top of the mix, rather than blurred under indie rock guitars, as was common at the time. Philippe was happy to oblige. The effect is a clarity of both form and content – on “Arcadian Boys,” Newell’s impassioned voice careens over a heartbreaking string quartet (arranged by Philippe himself) as he wonders what’s become of those “too late for the sun.” It’s a much more emotional take on the song than the guitar-laden, uptempo version that appears on the Cleaners From Venus’ My Back Wages. But The Off White Album doesn’t dwell too long in solemnity – it’s still a Martin Newell record, after all. His classic wit is on full display, whether he’s putting an irreverent spin on the Smiths (“Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others”) or fondly warning a neighbor to “watch your chemicals, girl” (“The Girls In The Flat Upstairs”). A rich cast of characters make up The Off White Album, via both the process of its recording and the subjects of its songs. It’s a record born on the road, inspired by Newell’s experiences travelling through Europe and Asia the year of its inception. Perhaps the clearest portrait that emerges as the album draws to a close, however, is one of Newell himself: as poet, coffee shop customer, bandleader, lover and neighbor. By his own admission, The Off White Album is “a more intimate portrait of my life at that time than I’d intended.” Artist Martin Newell Genre Rock And Pop Label Captured Tracks Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings Call Me Michael Moonlight The World Of Dandy Leigh Arcadian Boys The Blue Beret Ursula In A Waiting Room When The Damsons Are Down Lions Drunk On Sunlight Miss Van Houten’s Coffee Shoppe She Was Never Drowning Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others Queen Phyllis Of Colchester Goodnight Country Girl The Girls In The Flat Upstairs Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Martin Newell and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Martin Newell Greatest Living Englishman Rock And Pop | Captured Tracks | 1LP Released 23rd February 2018 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Martin Newell Greatest Living Englishman £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Captured Tracks SKU: CT271 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sleaford Mods Key Markets Rock And Pop | Harbinger Sound | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 21st July 2015 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sleaford Mods Key Markets £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Harbinger Sound SKU: HARBINGER150 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 21st July 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mazes A Thousand Heys Rock And Pop | Fat Cat | 1LP Released 7th April 2011 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mazes A Thousand Heys £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fat Cat SKU: FATLP103 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th April 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Brian Jonestown Massacre S/T Rock And Pop | A Recordings | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 15th March 2019 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Brian Jonestown Massacre S/T £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: A Recordings SKU: AUK045LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 15th March 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cass McCombs Dropping The Writ Rock And Pop | Miscellaneous Released 3rd March 2009 £6.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cass McCombs Dropping The Writ £6.00 Genre: Rock And Pop SKU: WIGLP194 Formats: Miscellaneous Released Date: 3rd March 2009 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Arbor Labor Union I Hear You Rock And Pop | Sub Pop | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 13th May 2016 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Arbor Labor Union I Hear You £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sub Pop SKU: SP1158 Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 13th May 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jon Batiste World Music Radio Rock And Pop | Decca | 1LP Released 18th August 2023 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jon Batiste World Music Radio £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Decca SKU: 5582282 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th August 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nina Nesbitt The Sun Will Come Up, The Seasons Will Change Rock And Pop | Cooking Vinyl | 1LP Released 1st February 2019 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nina Nesbitt The Sun Will Come Up, The Seasons Will Change £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Cooking Vinyl SKU: COOKLP678 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st February 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sigrid Sucker Punch Rock And Pop | Island | 1LP Released 1st March 2019 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sigrid Sucker Punch £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Island SKU: 7726657 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st March 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Francis Lung Miracle Rock And Pop | Memphis Industries | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 18th June 2021 £17.00 - £21.00 Select options Francis Lung Miracle £17.00 - £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Memphis Industries Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 18th June 2021 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Olof Arnalds Palme Rock And Pop | One Little Independent | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 29th September 2014 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Olof Arnalds Palme £15.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: One Little Independent SKU: TPLP1238 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 29th September 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
