Noir is the second studio album by William Control.
Thus far, "I'm Only Human Sometimes" is the first and only single released to promote the album. It also spawned a music video.
The single's album artwork caused a small controversy when online music retailer, iTunes, rejected[3] the cover claiming it was "unsuitable for minors".[4]
Fans who pre-ordered the album received a pair of unisex briefs branded with the William Control logo.[5]
