Album by Manchester band I am kloot, released in early 2001.

The first time I heard this album was at a Borders store in London. I was very bored and thought the sleeve looked cool, so I gave it a try in a listening station. I was so drawn into I am kloot's world of love, deceit and perversion that I didn't notice that the store was being evacuated until a security guard knocked me on my shoulder to inform me.

The album consists of a set of songs that tell tales of John Bramwell's everyday life with a large portion of cynisism. The music is acoustic and very laid back, almost jazzy. The album and the live performances received very favourable reviews in the UK.
