Alt-pop artist Momus chats to Stuart about his three Creation Records albums from the 1980s. Clearly influenced by Jacque Brel, Joni Mitchel and Prefab Sprout, Momus (Nick Currie) used satirical wit and literary lyrics to provide a disdainful social commentary of 1980s Britain backed by acid-house beats and indie rock choruses. The music wasn't always greeted warmly by audiences at the time as Stuart and Nick discuss, but its integrity has stood the test of time. Robert Wyatt's Dondestan, another truly classic album of alternative pop gets Stuart's featured album treatment, plus there's new music from Zilla, Khruangbin and Bardo Pond.
