The debut album from the London quartet arrived at the tail end of the British indie rock boom, yet stood out due to its remarkably intricate, math-rock-inspired guitar lines. Produced by Jim Abbiss, the record expertly balances youthful, jittery post-punk energy with surprising emotional maturity and memorable hooks, notably on the single 'Always Like This'. It launched a highly successful and sonically diverse career.
