Album Notes & Community Reviews

Emerging from the DIY post-punk underground, this highly obscure British band debuted with an incredibly surreal, lo-fi burst of psychedelic indie pop. The album is characterized by its absurdly humorous lyrical narratives, cheap organs, and tape-manipulated sound collages inspired by early Pink Floyd and The Velvet Underground. It is celebrated by crate-diggers as a vital, profoundly weird precursor to the 1980s DIY cassette and twee pop movements.
