Chromium Dockyard by Gary Le Strange

Gary’s fourth (or fifth) full-length album, 13 (or 19, or maybe even 22) years in the making, Chromium Dockyard is an eclectic journey through the fractured psyche of an aging British pop star as he grapples with the multiple perils of persecution, hair loss and the end of the world, via the ancient disciplines of synth rock, new wave pop, doomy Gothic ballads and apocalyptic electronica.

An intense collection of eleven pop songs and one experimental documentary, planting itself firmly between the New Romanticism of his early days and the wild excesses of Beef Scarecrow, this inventive set is simultaneously more ambitious and more accessible than anything Gary has attempted before, and serves as the perfect entry point to the world of Gary Le Strange.
