You Are the Quarry

You Are the Quarry was released in 2004, bringing to an end Morrissey’s sparse wilderness years. It was met with critical acclaim and is seen as a return to form for a singer who some thought had lost his way in the music industry.

In the album title, ‘Quarry’ means ‘target or prey’. The sleeve art is designed to make it look like the album title is being addressed to Morrissey.
