(1999)

How I Learned To Love The Bootboys was the fourth and final album by The Auteurs, the band of Luke Haines. Sporting a more electronica-orientated influence on its typical indie/glam sound after the incendiary rock of After Murder Park, the album is not frequently cited as The Auteurs' best, but has nevertheless spawned a series of fan favourites, including single The Rubettes and Future Generation, on which Haines predicted that one day The Auteurs would be rediscovered and gain the commercial success that had always eluded them.
