So what happened to him? I heard The Hour of Bewilderbeast for the first time a month or two ago, thanks to a work colleague playing it a fair bit, and it sounded pretty good. But from what I can gather, everything since then has been steeply downhill. Is that right?

It's pretty sad if that is the case, his debut sounded really promising (still can't quite forgive it for beating The Delgados to the Mercury Prize though!)
