Title: Classic late 80's angst
Review: This is a very good, very underrated gem from the late 80's mope rock scene. A re-issue of their '88 US debut take pages from the Smiths with a dash of Cure/Robert Smith lyricism. Catchy, Byrdsy guitars, chamber-influenced synths and uptempo pop sensibility mixed with accutely despondant lyrics (see: "The Worst Year of My Life" or "Whirlpool Heart". Makes me remember Doc Martens, cigarettes and the hubris of youth.
