Moron is in fact one Bob Brown who recorded and produced this entire album back in 2001 in his bedroom in Maryland. Maybe he also brought it to the UK himself, which might explain why it took so long to reach this side of the pond. I THINK the decidedly low-fi sound is deliberate (for his sake, I hope it is), but I'm certain that the guy is, to say the least, what we Brits would term as "eccentric": In fact, he makes Ishmael look conservative! There's no disguising the message, which is - like Ishmael - both uncompromising and strong, though definitely aimed at adults. Thing about this is, some people will absolutely love it, others will despise it, while still others - myself included - will be left going "Huh?"
