Morrissey: Viva Hate

Viva Hate

Morrissey

The end of his former band left a void that this release filled with raw honesty and sharp lyrical observations. It marks the frontman's successful transition into a solo act, demonstrating his power to command attention alone.

Stephen Street served as producer, building a jangly, lush sound that follows the indie scene of the late eighties. The resulting tracks capture a specific, cinematic melancholy that defines the period.
