The Shakespeare Monkey

This, the Puddle's 6th album in over 25 years (and only the 4th studio album to be released), sees George D. Henderson joined by Gavin Shaw (Sferic Experiment, Children's Television Workshop) on bass and brother Ian Henderson (The Dark Beaks) once again on drums to deliver a wildly diverse collection of tunes.
"Beautifully resigned guitar pop...full of the kind of articulate and well-read pop songs that made Henderson's home country the epicentre of literate guitar music in the 1980s and '90s." UNCUT...

Well done Amplifier for picking Naked as video of the week! I am now fascinated in The Puddle. As mentioned by APB, the line "I'm flowing through the gutter of time" blew me away, worthy of Bob Dylan!

The only bad thing about No Love - No Hate is the absence of "Naked". What I would love is for The Puddle to put together a classic singles disc of a kind and call it "Gutter Of Time". The Puddle covers me in delightful downer sludge, and I roll in it like a pig! Quint Baker
