about

'The Complete Illustrated Book of Failure' is the second album from industrial-punk outfit, Self Love.

A concept album tracing the journey of Don Quixote and his companion Sancho Panza in the epic Cervantes novel, the tracks freely move between the claustrophobic meanderings of 'Livin' La Vida Locust' to the anxious release of tracks like 'Knight of Cups'.

A lesson in human fallibility and changing musical dynamics, stay on your toes.
