I don’t know much about Rupert Hine. This is his “Chris Gaines” project. It’s all a clever ploy to manipulate the media, complete with hired actors to portray the musicians for interviews. Like World Party, Rupert is the one man band here and calls to mind Awolnation. Pretty sure Aaron Bruno had this record or at least heard it.
It’s all very rhythmic and antiseptic. It reminds me a lot of Rundgren, all talent and style but no heart. And Hine is trying to sound like Bowie whenever he can or Peter Gabriel.
