SULLIVAN first appeared as the figurehead of New Model Army, one of the politically-fired troupes of vagabonds spat out of the backwash of the punk era.
They came, they earned a rep, and they disappeared... didn't they? Well, no. In their time in the sun, they earned a hardcore following that has sustained them since.
This is Sullivan's first solo album, and a mellow affair it is. No berating, no polemics - but a stealthy whisper, delicate, deliberate tunes, and an intense meditation on beauty, the ocean, the world. It's too subtle for pop to notice, too subtle even for devoted fans at times.
