Julian Cope - Friar Tuck (CD)

The Prince of Fried has brung forth 12 brand new humdingers: all hummable and lyrically compelling and replete with wah-acoustic guitars and beautiful orchestrations of Mellotron 400 from Liverpool's Blondest. So inhale the garage fuzz dub of 'R in the Hood'; the mantric power drive of Four Jehovahs in a Volvo Estate; the sentimental Pete Burns lamentations of In Spungent Mansions... and who could resist the affectionate micro-trolling of Will Sergeant's Blues?

Stay cosy, defiant and edgy this autumn with these 12 fruits of Friar Tuck.
