Cherry Red

Cherry Red is a British label that was founded by Iain McNay in 1978. Also known as Cherry Red Records, this label has become associated with the company Music and Media Group. With the label code LC 6730, Cherry Red has made a name for itself in the music industry. It is important to note that this label should not be confused with the US label of the same name.

Momus, born on February 11, 1960 in Paisley, Scotland, is a Scottish singer-songwriter and author. With a career spanning over three decades, Momus has established himself as an influential figure in the indie pop and alternative music scenes.

Known for his witty and thought-provoking lyrics, Momus has been compared to artists such as *Future Bible Heroes*, *The 6ths*, and *Felt*. His unique blend of electronic and acoustic sounds creates a distinctive musical style that sets him apart from his contemporaries.

In addition to his solo work, Momus has collaborated with various musicians and bands including *The Auteurs*, *The Monochrome Set*, and *The High Llamas*. His collaborations have resulted in critically acclaimed albums that showcase his versatility as an artist.

Scottish artist Momus - the performing alias for Nick Currie - has curated a fascinating body of work over the course of the last 30 years for labels such as Creation, Cherry Red, Analog Baroque and el. For thirty years, he has been releasing albums to critical success. In his lyrics and his other writing, he makes novel use of decontextualized pieces of continental (mostly French) philosophy, and has built up a personal world he says is "dominated by values like diversity, orientalism, and a respect for otherness." He seems fascinated by identity, Japan, Rome, the avant-garde, time travel and sex. Celebrating his 30th anniversary, 'Pubic Intellectual ' is the first Anthology to document Momus' entire recorded output. Carefully compiled and annotated by the artist, with artwork by his chosen designer, this is a very personal statement. Included are many of Momus' most acclaimed songs - such as 'The Hairstyle Of The Devil', 'Lucky Like St. Sebastian' and 'Murderers, The Hope of Women'. 'Pubic Intellectual' also draws on Momus' most recent albums from the noughties, such as Bibliotek, Bambi, Turpsycore and Glyptothek.
