Summary
Pity Francis Crozier. Not only has he been in his wilderness years – after the breakup of iconic proto-Britpoppers James Clark and the Rosses – for long enough that the searchers are quietly giving up hope and notifying his next of kin; not only has he had to see his former frontman and creative partner, the aforenamed James Clark Ross, happily married and embarked on a critically and commercially successful solo career of his own; not only is he known for such a level of public messiness that fans have taken the unheard-of tack of blaming him, rather than Ann Ross, for breaking up the band; not only is he a bassist who sings…pity him for these reasons, yes, but most of all because he’s just released a thoroughgoingly mediocre album entitled An Act of Hubris. The advantage of an act of hubris is generally that it’s a noble failure. This is just average.
It's the early 2000s, and Francis Crozier's solo career is failing to take off. Pitchfork reviewer James Fitzjames has a few ideas about why.

Summary
One is that the very first thing Francis Crozier says to James Fitzjames over a steaming cup of tar-black coffee, his hangover pulsing unpleasantly in the pulp of his teeth, is this: “I don’t play anymore, I compose.”
And two, the very first thing James Fitzjames says to Francis Crozier, snowflakes caught in his hair, unblinking and smile only faltering for a split second, is this: “Well, I look forward to working with you all the same, Mr. Crozier. It’s an honor, really.”
