Band led by Lawrence Hayward from Birmingham, England ...the first album, instrumentally minimalist (like a psychedelic rhythmless Young Marble Giants here) ... Simple two guitar meandering melodies, they became more complex, even poppy later on, but this sound is a favourite ...
"Beginning with “Evergreen Dazed,” an instrumental interplay between
Lawrence’s gilded acoustic and Deebank’s chiming electric
extrapolations, the record is touched with a bit of melancholy, but
mostly leaves room for the listener to insert his own emotional
perception. “Fortune” adds a primitive tom beat and Lawrence’s anemic,
yet competent, vocals, which certainly possess some of Verlaine’s cool
detachment. Throughout the EP, the songs may be skeletal, but it’s by
purpose not ineptitude. “I Worship the Sun” is the gift here, a chiming
guitar line skirting atop rapid fire toms and between Lawrence’s
pleading paeans. By record’s end, “Templeroy,” the band condenses once
again, as Lawrence’s simply sung amorphisms are whirled around in a slow
build of cascading guitar." ... perfect ...
