About this album
Jesus of Cool is Nick Lowe’s sharp, witty debut solo album and a landmark bridge between pub rock and new wave. Issued in 1978, it captures Lowe after his years with Brinsley Schwarz, turning his gift for lean hooks and sly humour into a record that helped define power pop’s smarter edge. The songs are brisk, melodic and full of sharp observational detail, with standouts such as "So It Goes" and "(I Love the Sound Of) Breaking Glass" showing his knack for making irony sound effortlessly catchy. Its influence has endured as one of the great British roots-to-new-wave statements.
