The Accused

£7.50

“It’s time to come out of the shadows,” said Colin on the release of his first album recorded under his own name. Released in 1999 on his own label, the album was named after the punchline to the joke “What do you call a scouser in a suit?”. Colin said: “Despite the financial restrictions being indie is a joy and this LP is as close as I’ve come thus far to realising my maximum potential as a writer and performer. I just decided to record the album I wanted to make, even if nobody else was interested.”

Q Magazine’s review said: “a set suffused with his trademark reflective melancholy… a crooner reminiscent of a 60s Scott Walker”. Record Collector said: “A return to ‘Wonderful life“s form…The first single, ‘Sleeper’, has been hailed as perfect pop and bodes well for the future.”

Sleeper was co-written by and features backing vocals by Boo Hewerdine.
