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 Lowly Keep Up The Good Work Rock And Pop | Bella Union | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 17th February 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lowly Keep Up The Good Work £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Bella Union SKU: BELLA1400V Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 17th February 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Abba GOLD – Picture Disc Rock And Pop | UMC | 2LP, Picture Disc Released 23rd September 2022 £39.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Abba GOLD – Picture Disc £39.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 4822937 Formats: 2LP, Picture Disc Released Date: 23rd September 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Van Morrison It’s Too Late To Stop Now Vol. 1 Rock And Pop | Sony Music | 2LP Released 6th June 2016 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Van Morrison It’s Too Late To Stop Now Vol. 1 £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Music SKU: 88985323261 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 6th June 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Eurythmics We Too Are One Rock And Pop | RCA | 1LP Released 8th April 2024 £8.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Eurythmics We Too Are One £8.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: RCA SKU: nn284117 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 8th April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Creedence Clearwater Revival Creedence Clearwater Revival Rock And Pop | UMC | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 6th March 2015 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Creedence Clearwater Revival Creedence Clearwater Revival £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 1845121 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 6th March 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View PJ Harvey/John Parish A Woman A Man Walked By Rock And Pop | Island | 180g, 1LP Released 23rd July 2021 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders PJ Harvey/John Parish A Woman A Man Walked By £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Island SKU: 0725400 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 23rd July 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cold War Kids Hold My Home Rock And Pop | Downtown | 1LP Released 2nd March 2015 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cold War Kids Hold My Home £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Downtown SKU: 88875014491 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd March 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jefferson Airplane Volunteers Psychedelia / Garage | Speakers Corner | 180g, 1LP Released 30th June 2008 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jefferson Airplane Volunteers £34.00 Genre: Psychedelia / Garage Label: Speakers Corner SKU: LSP4238 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 30th June 2008 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Alanis Morissette Jagged Little Pill Rock And Pop | Rhino | 180g, 1LP Released 22nd November 2012 £19.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Alanis Morissette Jagged Little Pill £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino SKU: 0081227971687 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 22nd November 2012 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View X Ray Spex Germfree Adolescents Rock And Pop | Real Gone Music | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 4th December 2020 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders X Ray Spex Germfree Adolescents £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Real Gone Music SKU: RLGM07521PMI Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 4th December 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
