The life and songs of singer-songwriter Momus during his time at
Creation records and beyond. Momus - the stage name of musician
Nicholas Currie - is one of the most prolific and talented indie
songwriters of the last forty years. His work is controversial,
influential and highly regarded. From aspiring indie pop star of
the 1980s to Japanese chart success in the 1990s through many
experimental works to the present day, he has been a constant in
the search for intelligent, thinking person's pop. Jarvis Cocker
asked him to produce his band Pulp, the NME memorably awarded his
album "Hippopotamomus" 0/10, Creation Records dropped him when he
proved too dangerous for them, and his more controversial work led
to astounding legal tussles. His personal life has involved scandal
and heartbreak and he lost an eye following an infection, resulting
in his distinctive eye-patch. His songs including "The Hairstyle of
the Devil", "The Guitar Lesson" and "I Want You but I Don't Need
You" are acclaimed and have been covered by artists including
Amanda Palmer and Steven Wilson.
