Stephen McLaren - They Don't Put Any Money In Your Pocket

 

We always pay attention when Stephen McLaren graces the world with new music. And our attention is always richly rewarded whether the music is Stephen's solo work or his work with others. Today we focus on his new solo album They Don't Put Any Money In Your Pocket. The album delivers piano ballads, synthy dreampop, and wide scope pop anthems. But it isn't just a collection of quality songs. McLaren has thoughts political and social on his mind, and he crafts them into concise and direct statements with loads of heart and some anger, but also with charm and wit. And because he is Stephen McLaren, those statements are decorated with great musical skill and his best set of vocal performances to date. They Don't Put Any Money In Your Pocket is a treasure of an album and it deserves your ears, as well as a place in your music collection.

The album is out now in digital, CD and vinyl formats via Errant Media.
