Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking the full-length debut of Scott Miller's highly influential project, this independently released LP established his profound knack for idiosyncratic, hyper-literate guitar pop. Packaged initially in a hand-glued trash bag, the recording pairs jittery new wave energy with dense, Byrds-esque jangle pop architectures. It laid the critical foundation for their later, highly revered collegiate rock masterpieces.
