When Go-Kart Mozart released Tearing Up the Album Charts in 2005, Lawrence was in a bad place. Fighting addiction and hard times, he made one of the few missteps -- self-proclaimed -- of his career and put out a record made up of old songs written for a Denim album and demos that were in a half-finished state. He was never satisfied by it, and when he had the chance -- brought on by a lifted profile thanks to some great Mozart Estate records and a book about his life -- he jumped at it. Tower Block in a Jam Jar is a rework of Tearing that juggles the tracks, adds new instrumentation, and features all-new vocals. He also rewrote and retitled the song "At the DDU" to shift away from the subject matter -- getting a dose of methadone -- that no longer applied. The revamped versions of the songs are unsurprisingly fuller, with more musicians involved and numerous backing vocalists along for the ride. In addition to things sounding bigger and punchier, Lawrence sounds incredibly confident, and his vocals are among the strongest of his entire career. It's like he can taste the success that's been eluding him for decades, and he's going to give it his best shot.
