Album Notes & Community Reviews
Instantly defining the emergent folktronica movement, this debut 12-inch seamlessly stitches together acoustic folk strumming, hip-hop breakbeats, and surreal psychedelic pop. Anchored by the legendary, slowly building anthem 'Dry the Rain'鈥攍ater immortalized in the film 'High Fidelity'鈥攖he EP showcased a completely unique, unclassifiable approach to British indie music. It laid the groundwork for their highly revered 'Three E.P.'s' compilation.
