Album Notes & Community Reviews

Dan Treacy's chaotic, profoundly influential DIY project essentially laid the stylistic groundwork for the entire British indie-pop and C86 movements. '...And Don't the Kids Just Love It' is a wonderfully lo-fi, highly playful collision of scratchy post-punk and 1960s pop pastiche, brimming with deeply melancholic, slightly psychedelic, and humorous slacker-rock observations.
