About this album

Lunch is a sharp, underheard statement from Audience, the British art-rock band that moved between folk-rock refinement and progressive experiment. Released in 1972, the album shows the group stretching beyond their earlier sound with acoustic textures, unusual arrangements and Robert Kirby’s contribution to the orchestration, giving the music extra colour without softening its bite. Its songs balance surreal imagery and melodic detail with a more adventurous, sometimes theatrical edge, placing Audience alongside the era’s more inventive UK prog acts. Though not a major chart album, Lunch has long appealed to listeners drawn to eccentric 1970s British rock with real compositional ambition.
