Wonderlustre
Wonderlustre is the fourth studio album by Skunk Anansie, and it arrived in September 2010. It was their first full studio record since Post Orgasmic Chill in 1999, ending a gap of more than a decade. The band had previously made Paranoid & Sunburnt and Stoosh in the mid-1990s, so this was a proper return to the form after a long absence.
The album was trailed by the single "My Ugly Boy", which came out in August 2010. It was issued on earMUSIC and other European labels, and was available in several formats, including a two-CD tour edition, a CD/DVD digipack and a double vinyl LP. In 2012 it earned a silver certification from the Independent Music Companies Association for European sales of at least 20,000 copies. It's a good place to pick up the band's story before Black Traffic followed in 2012.
