Insecure Men

* More wows from Wandering Oak here  *

Saul Adamczewski, co-founder of Fat White Family and frontman of Insecure Men, 
endured a harrowing personal collapse in 2024, spending months in a cupboard in 
Tulse Hill amid severe psychosis and opioid addiction. After calling his mother and 
undergoing withdrawal, he began rebuilding his life, reconnecting with family and 
bandmates. This recovery led to A Man For All Seasons, the second Insecure Men 
album and a creative rebirth. 

Recorded in the spring of 2025, the album reflects Adamczewski's shift toward 
collaboration, with a band lineup including Marley Mackay, Victor Jakeman, Fat White 
Family's Alex White and Steely Dan Monte. Thematically, the album confronts 
heartbreak, mental illness, and addiction, blending melancholic country influences with 
lush, narcotic lounge-pop textures. Tracks like 'Time Is A Healer' channel raw emotion, 
while songs like 'Alien' and 'Cleaning Bricks' showcase the album's more junkshop 
pop instincts. 

Rooted in Adamczewski's country-infused upbringing, the album carries the ghostly, 
submerged sonic identity familiar from the first Insecure Men release, yet it feels more 
communal and mature. His songwriting is both confessional and escapist, offering 
solace and catharsis. Beyond this release, Adamczewski plans a Memphis-recorded 
country album, a dub project, and continues to explore folk and experimental forms, all 
in search of truth and healing through music.

From near-total collapse to creative revival, Adamczewski's journey is both cautionary 
and redemptive-one that reaffirms his role as one of Britain's most singular and 
enduring musical voices.
