A third album (sometimes referred to as Denim Take Over) was shelved indefinitely, and a standalone single "Summer Smash" was withdrawn from being released shortly after the death of Princess Diana.

1999 saw the full-length debut of Lawrence's current project, Go-Kart Mozart, released through his personal imprint, West Midlands Records and distributed by Cherry Red.

[8] Due to his reclusive public persona, Lawrence has given very little information away about his personal life,[citation needed] aside from the fact that he was born at 12 Melville Road in Edgbaston, Birmingham, as referred to in the Felt song "Mobile Shack", though moved as a child to the nearby village of Water Orton, Warwickshire, where he met founding Felt members Maurice Deebank and Nick Gilbert.

[10] He currently lives in a tower block close to the Old Street Roundabout in Hackney, London.

In 2024, a Portuguese pink marble bust of Lawrence, sculpted by artist Corin Johnson, was exhibited at the Fitzrovia Chapel in London.
