Albion is the fifth solo studio album by British singer-songwriter Ginger Wildheart, frontman of rock band The Wildhearts.[1] Albion was first released via the PledgeMusic platform as a 15-track LP. It came following the success of Ginger's 2012 album 555%.[2]
A commercial ten-track version was later released via Cargo Records[3] and Round Records.[4] The album, which was originally going to be titled Practical Musician, was recorded in 2013, and a blog of the album sessions was published online.[5]
Classic Rock described Albion as "spinetingling" and gave it four out of five stars.[6] Drowned in Sound gave the album 7 out of 10 stars,[7] calling it "another step on Ginger’s loveably tumultuous, often volatile, refreshingly bittersweet and often transcendental musical journey."
