Lawrence, ex-frontman of Felt and Go-Kart Mozart, imposes conditions on journalist Will Hodgkinson for his biography, prohibiting anecdotes and mentions of the word 'just'. Depicted as an eccentric living in London, he sustains himself on liquorice and tea, expresses fear of cheese, and has not had a girlfriend for years. Despite being overlooked, both Hodgkinson and Lawrence acknowledge his musical genius. The biography diverges from typical narratives of triumph, instead highlighting the effects of bad luck and self-sabotage on Lawrence's career. The audiobook features a warm Q&A session between Hodgkinson and Lawrence.
Lawrence, who goes by his first name only, is depicted as a pallid eccentric passing time in London, living on liquorice and milky tea, and fearful of cheese.
While most music biographies tell tales of failure and redemption, the account of Lawrence unfolds as a story of promising career overshadowed by bad luck and self-sabotage.
