Love And Other Demons

This was the second album from the doomed (and now defunct) Strangelove. Tragically overlooked and never able to gain the respect of the music press, Strangelove disintegrated after three stunning albums. 'Love and Other Demons' shows them at their musical and lyrical peak. 

　　Album highlights are 'Sway', a lilting ballad on alcohol addiction (no, really!), the monumental 'Sea of Black', and the gorgeous 'She's Everywhere'- not a song about Carol Vorderman, as you might expect, but a poignant account of the breakdown of a relationship. The latter also features vocal contributions from Brett Anderson, who is joined by fellow Suede man Richard Oakes on 'Living with the Human Machines' - but not even this patronage could save Strangelove in the end.
