NEW RELEASE: The Auteurs catalogue re-issued

Now I’m A Cowboy was released in 1994 and is home the smash hit Lenny Valentino. In reflection, Mr Luke Haines remembers: “After we had finished recording ‘New Wave,’ I was determined not to get caught out by ‘difficult second album syndrome’, so I kept writing. New French Girlfriend, Lenny Valentino, Government Bookstore and Modern History were all written at the end of 1993. There was a truck load of ‘English’ stupid on the horizon. Against conformity, I rashly called the album Now I’m A Cowboy which was exactly how I felt, and the opposite of everything that was about to come.”

Recorded in under two weeks at Abbey Road Studios, After Murder Park marked a new direction and needed a new sound provided by the production of Steve Albini. Mr Luke Haines considers the recording sessions the high point of The Auteurs career: “My only regret is I didn’t know just how good this stuff was at the time. Sure, I knew we were on to something. But really, ‘After Murder Park’ …fucking Woah!”

The Auteurs fourth and ultimately final album, How I Learned To Love The Bootboys was released in July 1999, a 3-year gap since After Murder Park. During that hiatus, Mr Luke Haines released albums as part of Black Box Recorder and under the guise of Baader Meinhof.

Mr Luke Haines says “On listening to …Bootboys again, I’m actually surprised how focussed it sounds. There’s a straightforward ‘pop side’ and an unstraightforward ‘experimental’ side. My only regret is not putting more on the album – really stretching it out and making it a sprawling double, songs like Breaking Up and Get Wrecked At Homewere far too good for B-sides”.
