U.N.P.O.C

Like James Yorkston before him, U.n.p.o.c. has emerged from Fife's Fence Collective, and now finds himself recording for the Domino label. The brainchild of Tom Bauchop, the critics have been falling over themselves to praise his album "Fifth Column". The Sunday Times decribed it as a "debut album of beauty and wonder", while The Telegraph's Andrew Perry wrote "his sound may be too unpolished to tussle with the Pop Idols on mainstream radio, but in some better parallel universe, Bauchop has delivered the pop album of 2003."
