Album Notes & Community Reviews

Distancing themselves from the severe gothic gloom of Bauhaus, the trio embraced shimmering, kaleidoscopic guitar textures and buoyant rhythms. The album establishes a definitive neo-psychedelic blueprint, blending bright, spiritual lyricism with the driving basslines characteristic of the British alternative rock underground.
