Album Notes & Community Reviews

Martin Newell's legendary lo-fi guitar-pop project transitions out of the 1980s with this self-released cassette. Retaining the distinctly British, slightly psychedelic jangle-pop sound they pioneered, the album balances incredibly infectious melodies with biting political and social commentary.
