Recording

Personnel

The album guest features, among a variety of international musicians, Spacemen 3 bassist Will Carruthers and vocalists Unnur Andrea Einarsdottir and Felix Bondareff.[14]

Content

The album's title refers to The Beatles' 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. It may also refer to Who Killed Bambi?, an early working title for The Sex Pistols' film The Great Rock 'N' Roll Swindle, as well as a song on the film's soundtrack.

Release

The album was available for free streaming prior to release, and, like My Bloody Underground, music videos were made for each of the album's songs.
