The Quietus reports that Andy Ingamells has issued his inaugural solo album, Vanity Project, a work that blends humor and conceptual play. The record opens with a lyrical inventory of different kinds of "fun," which quickly shifts into a commentary on endless cycles of expectation and disappointment.
Vanity Project compiles material created between 2008 and 2026, showcasing Ingamells as the primary performer on all but one track. He contributes vocals, spoken word, and a range of instruments including melodica and pipe organ, among others.
The album’s thematic focus on semantic twists and looping structures offers a distinctive texture that may interest electronic music curators and club programmers looking for avant‑garde influences.
