Synopsis

Album Description
Follow-up to the Christie Malry's Own Double Entry soundtrack album comes more poison pop from the ex-Auteurs & Black Box Recorder main man. The Oliver Twist Conspiracy (subtitled, Or What is Wrong With Popular Culture) highlights Haines distinctive songwriting & is yet more splendid stuff, cast in the same characteristic Haines-ian mode of shabby glamour & twisted tunefulness that we've come to expect from the self-styled Curmudgeon Of Pop. Arrogantly wonderful & wonderfully arrogant. 2001.

"The Oliver Twist Manifesto is dope, baby, dope."
Luke Haines returns with his new Oliver Twist Manifesto
Johnny A. Hodge | RABBIT HASH, KENTUCKY | 07/25/2001

"a cool new cd from the Auteurs frontman and Black Box Recorder artist...the cd has many Phantom of the Opera type sounds mixed with Haines bitter lyrics about the changing world...his motives are not always clear, and yet that lends to the appreciation of the work. The best tracks are Oliver Twist, Mr and Mrs. Solanas, Discomania, and Christ. This record is definitely not for the mass audience..but those who appreciate Dylan, the Smiths, and attitude will savor the sounds"
Another sinister and incredible classic from LUKE HAINES!

"This is LUKE HAINES's first solo LP and it's just as amazing as the latest AUTEURS stuff. (my personal fav is the BAADER MEINHOFF album... that's a perfect classic!). This Lp is great.. short.. but great. There's more ELECTRONIC beeps and sounds on it but plenty of guitars. My favorites are: "What Happens When We Die", "I Shot Sarah Lucas", and "The Spook Manifesto"... all songs are great though. This is NOT a happy lp.. but if you are an AUTEURS fan, you should know what to expect. This is another great LP from the sinister and wild mind of LUKE HAINES."
