Album Notes & Community Reviews

A vibrant, hyper-melodic cornerstone of the late-eighties British C86 and indie pop movements. The album bursts with fast-paced, chiming guitar hooks and lovelorn lyricism, capturing the infectious, unpretentious energy of the Subway Organization label roster. It is widely considered the defining creative peak of the group's relentlessly upbeat jangle pop aesthetic.
