He knocked it off by himself in a month, partly as a way to test his new synthesisers, while Wings was preparing what would be its final tour, and it was released to what had become predictably negative reviews. In the early 2010s it was began to be hailed as a precursor to a lot of modern indie pop and it now sounds like one of his freshest, quirkiest and most interesting albums.
