This record captures a specific moment where clean, biting guitar tones met a driving pace. Released on Creation Records, it defines the atmospheric indie sound of the mid-eighties.
The production relies on a raw aesthetic common to the era. The influence of reverb and sharp instrumentation creates a sense of urgency that would later help define the shoegaze movement.
