I did not know them before listening to the album. And I had to doublecheck the release date; it sounds more modern than when it was released! It's an interesting mix of post-punk/indie rock that prefigures what will come next in the decade. There are lots of good ideas, the songs are catchy and entertaining; that's a nice discovery.
This album came out at exactly the wrong time. It’s psychedelic beats and sitar breaks were ten years too late, the indie rock energy and quirky production were ten years too early and the actual release date fell in the middle of a printers strike so the album didn’t get reviewed in Melody Maker and NME. This is a shame, because there’s a lot to enjoy here, with the highlight being the full on rock freak out of Insanely Jealous of You.
