Hugh Cornwell is an English musician & songwriter, best known for being the vocalist, guitarist and original founder of the British punk/new wave group The Stranglers, 1974–90. Cornwell released his debut solo album, Nosferatu, in 1979; a collaboration with Captain Beefheart Magic Band drummer Robert Williams. It was conceived as an imaginary soundtrack to the classic F.W. Murnau silent film. The follow-up album, Wolf, did not arrive until nine years later. In 1990, feeling the band was artistically spent, Cornwell left the Stranglers. Thereafter, he only grew ever more prolific in his solo career.
