Tim Browne produced this darkly sentimental opus - ambitious, vengeful, tuneful and intriguing with influences that are, to many a pop music connoisseur, poles apart, from Nick Cave to The Darkness, Johnny Cash to Pilot. A record that plays by its own rules. The opening salvo reflects upon the death of the Vinny Peculiar alter ego, Kiss Me I'm a Social Worker reeks of abuse and mistrust. 'Seasonal Affective Disorder' is a tenderly affecting paean of mood disorder and melody. 'Lazy Bohemians' portrays and gently dismembers a world of would be revolutionary misfits. From garage band symphonies to rock and roll nursery rhymes GMAF is a record of audacious musicality. 'Luke Haines on lo-fi Bowie trip' **** The Independent

'A treasure trove of timeless pop brilliance, Growing Up never felt so satisfying' **** BIG ISSUE

Recorded in a "cathartic fit of despair" at home on a four-track over the winter of 2000/ 2001, VINNY PECULIAR'S second album "Non-Compliance" is something of a departure and certainly a rugged route march away from the sardonically catchy guitar pop he's moulded into his own image over the past few years. Alone, intimate and almost voyeuristically personal, the 14 songs here are stark exercises in minimalism, delivered by Vinny in monologue style, with usually only the sparest of keyboard frills for company. Aside from a little textural work on "God Spot", no guitars are detectable at all and the early hours confessional style recalls the maverick likes of John Cale, Julian Cope and Baby Bird's Steven Jones. W&H

Manchester singer-songwriter who looks as if he's been through many a wilderness year in preparation for this clear-eyed, beautiful debut. His CV is a bit misleading; he's recently supported old farts like Nils Lofgren and Roger McGuinn, but Gone is eclectic and adventurous, reminiscent of Baby Bird's early demos or Microdisney's first album. Vinny's voice is more emotive than strictly tuneful, but his guitar playing is delicately inspired and the songs are almost all lovely, whether wired and Television like [Shrinemaker], sparse and melancholy [Sahadow Box] or positively Beatleseque [Calm Me Down]- Sam Taylor- The OBSERVER [ last few copies remain] NOW AVAILABLE AS A FREE DOWNLOAD
