Album Notes & Community Reviews

Gathering the entirety of the short-lived experimental outfit's recorded material, 'All's Well' compiles their sole studio album alongside two preceding EPs. Formed by Charles Hayward following the dissolution of This Heat, the group heavily utilized tape manipulation, unconventional percussion, and Charles Bullen's intricate guitar textures. The highly progressive, politically charged recordings laid essential groundwork for the brooding, complex aesthetics of 1990s post-rock.
