Nick Marsh, lead singer with 1980’s alternative goth-rock luminaries Flesh For Lulu (yep, we loved ’em) and lead guitarist in London’s raucous 10 piece gypsy blues outfit The Urban Voodoo Machine finally officially releases his haunting solo album, A Universe Between Us.

To listen to this album is like pulling up a stall beside some beaten barfly loosened by liquor, contemplating life, love and loss. Like Charles Bukowski, Marsh is poetic without being florid; reflective without being maudlin; brittle and brutal whilst also deeply romantic.

There is a clear love for nostalgic, but twisted, Americana. Check out our taster track that comes across like an evil Richard Hawley on smack singing something from Blue Velvet. Or something like that.
