Andy Bell established this group immediately after departing from Ride, bringing a specific Britpop influence to the project. The record functions as a tribute to the hazy, guitar-focused sounds of that era.
The production relies on a wall-of-sound approach that defined the mid-nineties. It documents a specific transition point when the shoegaze style began evolving into the melodic, radio-friendly indie rock that dominated the British charts.
