Erotica is the third and final studio album from the British indie band The Darling Buds.[1][4][5] It was released on Epic Records in 1992. The album shares a name with, and a similar cover to, the Madonna album, which was released only one week later.
The song "Long Day in the Universe" featured in the Mike Myers film So I Married an Axe Murderer.
Critical reception
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]
