Before Hollywood

by The Go-Betweens

Before Hollywood cover art

Recorded in England, The Go-Betweens' sophomore effort is an incredibly literate, beautifully bittersweet masterpiece of early indie pop. The band expertly weaves taut, rhythmic post-punk tension with deeply poetic, slightly sarcastic jangle-pop melodies, marking a massive compositional leap forward for the beloved Australian songwriting duo.
