Britpop

Inspiration for the 24-track compendium struck when the London producer enjoyed a solo sojourn in Montana during lockdown whilst working on previous albums ‘Apple’ and ‘7G’; Cook draw parallels between his own left-field career diversions, the concept of “Britishness” itself, and a reverence and repudiation of the era-defining movement. There are three chapters: Disc one, ‘Past’, consists mainly of Cook’s hyperreal electronic style whilst Disc two, ‘Present’, is a more a traditionally-aligned Britpop showcase, and on Disc three, Cook beams in a sound from the future. Ultimately, the sprawling collection interrogates what British pop is, has been and could be.
