Album Notes & Community Reviews

Assembles the groundbreaking 1980s extended plays of the pioneering British duo who famously coined the term 'dream pop'. The tracks violently collide dub production techniques with feedback-drenched guitars, drum machines, and hushed vocals, serving as a critical missing link between post-punk and shoegaze. The collection rightfully restores the massive, widely overlooked legacy of the black-led alternative pop group.

Genres
