Thirteen new songs from Stephen Manning, the man who "melts the heart of any fan of pure pop hooks" (CMJ New Music Report). "His stuff stands up alongside your favorite Smiths, Morrissey and Radiohead records, while sounding totally unique and individual"
Bio / Background
STATUESQUE is the voice and songs of English pop auteur Stephen Manning, composer of genius guitar hooks, mesmering melodies and clever funny sad angry lyrics, put together (with the help of passing drummers) in a rich tapestry of varied, highly original recordings.
CHOIR ABOVE FIRE BELOW is Statuesque's masterpiece. From the sharp guitar pop attack of "Touché" to the rich, layered guitar textures of the sublime "Present Historic," from the samba-driven lament of "Are You Sure?" to the jarring sonic invention of "Safecracker" and "Weaponised," the album represents a new renaissance for intelligent British pop creativity. With songs (and titles) like "Boys Are Lazy Girls Are Crazy" and "Rock And, Therefore, Roll," Stephen Manning may now be crawling through the catflap of the Canon of Great Lyricists.
