'It's me discovering a way to write and sing stuff that I could live with', he says of his first-ever solo outing. Recorded in his East London studio, Relax and Enjoy, 'Hollywood Saviour' has the feeling - the rush and release - of a breakthrough, of an artist letting go. Doyle's found freedom in simplicity here, leaning into the many pleasures of guitar-bass-drums, indulging wholeheartedly in the weird, spontaneous, raucous, and raw. He sounds free. That sense of fun and rampant possibility can be felt in every groove, Doyle finding added inspiration in the loose and the louche, from Sexual Harassment's 1983 electro-funk raunch-o-rama 'I Need A Freak' to Throbbing Gristle's locomotive 1980 paean to jerking off, 'Something Came Over Me', which is lovingly covered here.
