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 Garcia Peoples Nightcap At Wits’ End Rock And Pop | Beyond Beyond Is Beyond | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 9th October 2020 £21.00 Select options Garcia Peoples Nightcap At Wits’ End £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Beyond Beyond Is Beyond Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 9th October 2020 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Andreya Triana Life In Colour Rock And Pop | Hi-Tea Records | 1LP Released 1st March 2019 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Andreya Triana Life In Colour £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Hi-Tea Records SKU: HiT001LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st March 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Monkees, The Greatest Hits Rock And Pop | Friday Music | 180g, 1LP Released 1st February 2012 £38.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Monkees, The Greatest Hits £38.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Friday Music SKU: FRM115 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 1st February 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Carnivores Let’s Get Metaphysical Rock And Pop | Smalltown America | 1LP Released 27th October 2014 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Carnivores Let’s Get Metaphysical £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Smalltown America SKU: STA143LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th October 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View My Sad Captains Sun Bridge Rock And Pop | Bella Union | 1LP Released 6th October 2017 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders My Sad Captains Sun Bridge £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Bella Union SKU: BELLA685V Formats: 1LP Released Date: 6th October 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Christine and The Queens Chaleur Humaine Rock And Pop | Because Music | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 4th March 2022 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Christine and The Queens Chaleur Humaine £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Because Music SKU: BEC5610119 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 4th March 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Simon And Garfunkel Bridge Over Troubled Water – 50th Anniversary Gold Vinyl Rock And Pop | Sony Music | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 14th February 2020 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Simon And Garfunkel Bridge Over Troubled Water – 50th Anniversary Gold Vinyl £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Music SKU: 19439723771 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 14th February 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Rain Parade Last Rays of a Dying Sun Rock And Pop | Label 51 | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 4th August 2023 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Rain Parade Last Rays of a Dying Sun £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Label 51 SKU: LAB51001 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 4th August 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hifi Sean & David McAlmont Happy Ending Rock And Pop | Last Night From Glasgow | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 3rd February 2023 £26.00 Select options Hifi Sean & David McAlmont Happy Ending £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Last Night From Glasgow Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 3rd February 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Grian Chatten Chaos For The Fly Rock And Pop | Partisan Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 30th June 2023 £21.00 - £22.00 Select options Grian Chatten Chaos For The Fly £21.00 - £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Partisan Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 30th June 2023 Read More Select options See more in Rock And Pop Start again
