10.3.17 I haven't heard this English shoegaze group for more than 20 years. When I haven't heard something in that long it's usually because I've lost touch. But in this case it's because they have not released anything since '95s Pygmalion. I remember listening to them along side the likes of Curve and Lush.

Their new self titled album is as lush (pun intended) and atmospheric as they're earlier efforts. If you like this, '93s Souvlaki is the same great low key ponderous music ...like Mojave 3 or Cocteau Twins. Like anything, for me, I got to be in the mood for it. Today is dark and rainy, so I'm in.
