Music, Martinis and Misanthropy

Boyd Rice and Friends

A surreal blend of cocktail lounge loops and cold, spoken-word misanthropy. The definitive document of apocalyptic folk's most cynical, martini-soaked corner.

1990 · Factory

A cold, intellectual disdain wrapped in the warm, nostalgic textures of mid-century lounge music.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring contrast of the upbeat lounge loop against the cold delivery of the track People.
The haunting acoustic simplicity of Down in the Willow Garden featuring Rose McDowall's backing vocals.
The way Silence Is Golden uses literal quiet to punctuate the album's final cynical thesis.
