An entertaining novelty release mixing rock, electro-pop and classical by the Former Mansun frontman, in the form of a satirical self-help manual on how to become a complete cult in the music industry or employ Machiavellian tactics in the entertainment industry and beyond.

Lockdown Choir. Notable tracks include the title song, the electronica number Omega Man featuring Steven Wilson, the Depeche Mode-style Everybody Becomes a Problem Eventually, Dirty Trix and You’ve Got No Life Skills, Baby! One for Boris Johnson’s collection. Out on Kscope / Snapper Music.
