Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released in 2001, 'Stranger Things' marked a significant moment in Marc Almond's career as he transitioned from the commercial peak of Soft Cell in the 1980s to a more eclectic solo sound. By this time, Almond had established himself as a prominent figure in dark cabaret and alternative pop, diversifying his musical palette after the release of his previous album, 'The Stars We Are' in 1991.
