A righteous 6CD Clamshell Box Set collecting the complete EMI Recordings of The Auteurs across 125 tracks.
Featuring all four albums by The Auteurs, along with Luke’s side project (the self-titled) Baader Meinhof album, ‘Das Capital’ and a stack of fantastic B-Sides, bonus tracks, demos and other delights.
The Auteurs were the brilliant British indie band fronted by the sharp-tongued songwriter Luke Haines (The Servants, Blackbox Recorder, Baader Meinhof).
Includes their debut album ‘New Wave’ (1993) hailed as a "canny time capsule, bundled up with all the retro glam of the era" as well as ‘Now I’m A Cowboy’ (1994), ‘After Murder Park’ (1996), ‘Baader Meinhof’ (1996), ‘How I Learned To Love The Bootboys’ (1999) and ‘Das Capital’ (2003).
‘People ‘Round Here Don’t Like To Talk About It’ is a celebration of one of the finest bands to emerge and evaporate in the hedonistic 1990s.
Luke Haines is alive and well, possibly living in Buenos Aires, but definitely still making excellent solo and collaborative records. He will be touring this box set throughout February 2023.
