Album Notes & Community Reviews

The heavily distorted debut from the Scottish band established their unique knack for burying pristine vocal harmonies beneath mountains of fuzzy guitars. Though far grittier than their later work, the record's slacker-rock anthem 'Everything Flows' perfectly foreshadowed their legacy in 90s alternative power pop.

Genres

Descriptors: noisy, lo-fi, rhythmic, melodic, distorted
