Luke Haines is regularly decribed as one of the greatest English contempory songwriters, who launched Britpop and jumped ship as soon as it set sail. His wry commentaries respect few boundaries and his musical arrangements are uniquely suited to both the worlds of music and film. Art Will Save The World explores the work, legacy, struggles, battles and future of this perennial outsider of Britpop and the British music scene, with comments from Jarvis Cocker, David Peace and Arthur Matthews.
