The Fall

I Am As Pure As Oranj The Fall

I Am Kurious Oranj is the eleventh studio album by The Fall. It was released on 10 October 1988 through record label Beggars Banquet. The album's release came at the end of a relatively successful year for the group, which had also seen the release of an "accessible" album, The Frenz Experiment, and a handful of singles in the UK charts. However there was internal strife within the band; Smith was increasingly dependent on alcohol and speed, and his marriage to Fall lead guitarist, song writer and vocalist Brix Smith was coming to an end. Although she wrote many of the most acclaimed songs on the album, including Overture From Kurious Oranj, Van Plague? and Bad News Girl, she was excluded from the writing and publishing credits.
