E L U C I D's solo debut for Fat Possum follows the triumphant Armand Hammer album, We Buy Diabetic Test Strips, one of the best reviewed albums of 2023. A raw, crackling urgency runs through rapper-producer E L U C I D’s new album REVELATOR like an underground power line. No off ramp from the audio Autobahn that ELUCID has fashioned—a renegade Robert Moses with gold fronts, bulldozing the homes of the powerful and the complicit. REVELATOR brims with the energy of now, with a refusal to look away. Carpe diem in a murder one mask. REVELATOR's packaging was designed by longtime Armand Hammer / Backwoodz art director, Alexander Richter.

A Man For All Seasons is the long-awaited return of Insecure Men, the avant-pop band led by Saul Adamczewski and with a rotating cast of collaborators including Ben Romans-Hopcraft, the Childhood multi-instrumentalist who went to primary school with Adamczewski. It was recorded at Konk Studios in North London as trees blossomed in Spring this year. The album moves from junkshop pop to luxuriant mid-60s soulfulness and mournful cuts where heartbreak manifests in the form of wintry and fragile country songs. It's an album of hope, rich in song and stories and inner truth. Brilliant songwriter, unlikely auteur, serious maverick: a man for all seasons.
