Recorded over the last six years, Me Man… You Monster
is an eclectic pool of pure fear and loathing,
deposited in a seedy videcolour joint very late at night.
One by one the unlikely characters of Perkins’s exclusive drinking
club step into the limelight of the smokey gloom
and their harrowing symptoms are exposed.
Who will ever again send for the Night Porter? Who Killed Dizney,
Mr Bone Idol, Charlie Chakra?, The Children’s Entertainer
all come to life and finally reveal their gripping alter-egos.
With its Tinderstick effects, Ian Dury’s cockney rap,
Beck-esque intros, Nick Cave terror, Tom Waits’ hat collection
and gothic grope this is an album where each song is cohesive
and intelligent, generically difficult to pinpoint,
certainly not for the feint hearted and musically brilliant.
Miss World has a total disregard for formula and expectation,
is totally eccentric, dramatic and positively thrilling as she wrestles
for the forces of evil.
Not one for the coffee table, art rock is spiritually renewed, essential.
