Erotica is the third and final studio album by British alternative rock band the Darling Buds, [1] [4] [5] released in 1992 by Epic Records. The album shares a name with, and a similar cover to, the Madonna album of the same name, which was released two weeks later. [6]
Trouser Press wrote: "Lewis comes into her own on the aptly named Erotica (also made with producer Street), on which a fine band matures in sound yet still capitalizes on its original strength—namely, brilliant hookcraft." [1]
All songs written by Andrea Lewis and Harley Farr, except where noted.
