“Why a solo album? A question nobody has asked me yet but one I’ll answer with all due defensive posture. May as well ask "why an album at all?”, an even better and more probing question, and even less likely to be asked than the original. Because it’s not really a solo album, it’s another album of songs written by me that happens to feature other players and a deliberately low rent approach to the making. It’s “Glenn Richards” because I was too dumb to call Augie March that in the first place. I could be almost middle class by now had I done that. I’ve talked to my brother Chris, Dan Luscombe and Mike Noga about doing something together for years and happily we’ve just done it.“

Review
Declan Murphy, Readings St Kilda
The eagerly awaited solo album from Augie March frontman Glenn Richards hits the shelves this month. Having shacked up in a Fairfield warehouseaccompanied by brother Chris, Richards recorded 19 songs over a month then stripped it back to 15. Also along for the ride are the Drones’s Mike Noga and Dan Luscombe, who may have had some time up their sleeves given the recent release of Gareth Liddiard’s stunning solo effort. It would seem something is in the water when two of the country’s absolute finest songwriting talents take temporary reprieve of their much-loved bands to make very personal statements, and like Liddiard, Richards has produced a wonderful piece of work. With all of his melodic and lyrical gifts, should anyone be surprised?
