Lord Cut-Glass, the solo incarnation of ex-Delgado Alun Woodward, released his debut album on Chemikal Underground. With typically casual defiance Lord Cut-Glass’ debut was recorded at the label’s own studio Chem 19 with former Delgados drummer Paul Savage on the skins, and Woodward himself writing and arranging the parts for an integral band of classical musicians from across Glasgow.

Praise for Lord Cut-Glass:
"Woodward communicates such a strong sense of creative freedom — waltzes give way to mariachi stomps, brass, accordion and strings jostle for space, wry, spat-out lyrics contrast with rococo-folk settings, and songs such as Even Jesus Couldn’t Love You, You Know and Holy F*** are at once heartbreaking and vicious — that, in his case, the term “indie” here reasserts itself as a hallmark of quality rather than the insult (think “landfill indie”) it has increasingly become." 4 Stars -- Dan Cairns -London Times
