New Wave
The Auteurs
Released:
Jan 1993
Label:
Caroline World Service
The Auteurs became a footnote in the history of Britpop -- a title they were never entirely comfortable with -- but they helped lay its very foundation, and this album was one of the first bricks. Like Suede, the Auteurs took a more glam-rock approach, while avoiding outright Bowie-isms. Though too grounded and world-aware to be an outright fop (or a rock star), singer-guitarist Luke Haines is a melodious guide through a gritty yet mystical guitar-pop world. "Show Girl" and "Valet Parking" are like looking through a spyglass into his magical realism.
