‘Bengali in Platforms’ is a track from Morrissey’s solo debut, 1988’s Viva Hate, an album released just six months after the final Smiths’ album (Strangeways, Here We Come).
Viva Hate was the start of a strong solo run for Morrissey, and proof that even after the unfortunate demise of The Smiths, at least one half of the Morrissey/Marr partnership would continue to thrive.
