Love Peace & Fuck

Love Peace & Fuck is the 2001 debut album by Julian Cope’s side project Brain Donor, released by Impresario records[4] on CD and double LP. It was produced and directed by Cope with the help of long term collaborator Thighpaulsandra.[1] The album was recorded by the power trio of Cope, lead guitarist Doggen Foster and drummer Kevin Bales, both formerly of Spiritualized. Cope plays bass, a role he had not assumed in a band context since The Teardrop Explodes in the early 1980s.[5]

The lyrics center on Cope's then obsession with ancient, pagan cultures, including references to Celtic and Norse folklore,[1] while the music inclines towards The Stooges and 1980s British Heavy Metal. Love Peace & Fuck was described by music critic Aaron Badgley as "pure noise" and "garage rock, prog rock, and...'Krautrock' all rolled into a 2001 sound".[1]

Two singles were released from the album, "She Saw Me Coming" and "Get Off Your Pretty Face".[3]
