Hope Springs A Turtle [Second Edition]

The album of the come-back for this great noir-cabaret US artist, finally reprinted.

After a long absence, this 2004 CD re-introduced the world to its favorite noir pop genius.
It's all Schadenfreude all the time, as Williams eschews his sentimental love songs in favor of "cold narrations" about curious pediatricians, game wardens, epilepsy fetishists and a certain star from Hogan's Heroes.
With popsicle sticks in pussies, lamps in gay anuses and laughs aplenty, this CD redefined electro-symphonic chamber pop in curious, unmarketable ways.
