Album Notes & Community Reviews

Functioning essentially as a duo led by Gary Knight, this highly obscure British act created a stunningly delicate and melancholic dream-pop debut. The album merges the stark, drum-machine programming of minimal wave with beautifully shimmering, heavily chorus-laden guitars and whispered vocal melodies. It serves as a breathtaking, pioneering document of the early 80s ethereal guitar-pop aesthetic.
