For those who remember The Adam & Joe Radio Show (which showing my age hasn't been a thing for almost 20 years) will recall Song Wars and how good Adam Buxton (and Joe tbf) was at make decent songs about the most mundane of topics. Captain Buckles takes that same spirit to record on his first and maybe only album as a form of one-sided song wars.

British Writer, comedian and podcast host Adam Buxton releases his debut music album ‘Buckle Up’ on Decca Records. The album sees Buxton collaborating with Metronomy’s Joe Mount (as lead producer) and The Vaccines’ Pete Robertson. Buckle Up is fifteen songs in which Buxton is inescapably, and beautifully, himself. “You inhabit the uncanny valley between funny and sincere,” advised Greenwood, “and I’m not sure anyone’s ever made that work.” Buxton has come to accept that the uneasy balance between funny and sincere might be what he does best. “That encapsulates everything I’ve ever done,” he admits. “Efforts to be thoughtful undermined by silliness, and vice versa”.
