UK Number 40s: Lodger - I'm Leaving (1998)

 


By 1998 the Britpop era was more or less over. Many of the Britpop musicians though were still around though and four of them formed the supergroup Lodger.

The term "supergroup" may have to be taken with a pinch of salt though as the only member to have previously had Top 40 hits prior to this was Danny Goffey, the drummer with Supergrass. The other band members was his then girlfriend (now wife) Pearl Lowe from the band Powder and Neil Carlill and Will Foster from the band Delicatessen. 

The fact that those bands never had a Top 40 hit made it seem unlikely this supergroup would succeed. They released one album and called it a day the same year.
