Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stephin Merritt's early foray into synthesizer-driven indie pop utilizes primarily Casio keyboards and rudimentary drum machines to create surprisingly lush, melancholic melodies. Originally conceived as a 7-inch loop, the tracks highlight his signature baritone delivery and witty, romantic cynicism. It serves as a charmingly lo-fi preview of the grand orchestration he would later pursue on albums like '69 Love Songs'.
