The Dead Flowers Reject

Mansun were one of the most iconic & innovative British bands of the late 90's. Having signed to the legendary record label Parlophone they released four albums - Attack Of The Grey Lantern (1997), Six (1998), Little Kix (2000) & the compilation Kleptomania following the band's split - as well as a popular & now rare series of EP's.

The Dead Flowers Reject, the alter-ego album to Six, was recorded at the same time as an alternative, more linear & marginally less jaggedly eccentric selection of songs as insurance should the label reject the other. The Mansun frontman & songwriter Paul Draper, described the album: "The Dead Flowers Reject could be thought of as the fourth Mansun album... I think the record [had it come out] would probably have been my favourite Mansun album: it's the closest to how we played live".
