in stock! heres the info again one time only (re)pressing of 1000 copies. originally released way back in 1987 on the esteemed au-go-go label, this was the debut release from a precocious teenage fourpiece from melbourne, god; my pal simply straddles the postpunk husker du / squirrel bait buzz and predates the leaden foot of grunge with some wah drenched fuzz fury laden pop, yes pop, with simple hooks, and a huge chip of australian rock action on its shoulder. big words you think? its a big single.....b/side is the track "chockablock rock and roll". members of god went on to form /play in: hoss, powder monkeys, bored, yesmen, pattersons curse, tex perkin's dark horses, tendrils. etc. words like "EVERY HOME SHOULD HAVE ONE OF THESE" kind of work with a record like this!

Details

THE DEBUT FULL LENGTH ALBUM FROM A STAPLE OF THE CAMBRIDGE UNDERGROUND SCENE, LIONSHARE HAVE PRODUCED A FULLY REALISED ALBUM MAKING THE WAIT FOR THEIR DEBUT CERTAINLY WORTH IT. RECORDED IN THE 'LIVE IN A ROOM' TRADITION (WITH SOME OVERDUBS IN THIS CASE) THROUGH VINTAGE RECORDING GEAR STRAIGHT TO 8 TRACK ANALOGUE TAPE, THE RECORDING IS REMINISCENT OF THE CLASSIC JOE BOYD PRODUCTIONS OF THE '60S. MORE SONGBASED THAN PREVIOUS MATERIAL AND LIVE PERFORMANCES, THERE'S A DISTINCT PASTORAL CAMBRIDGE SOUND. SONGS ARE DEVELOPED AROUND FINGER PICKED ACOUSTIC GUITAR WITH FLOURISHES OF CELLO, ORGAN AND ELECTRIC GUITAR TOGETHER WITH A MIXTURE OF INSTRUMENTS SUCH AS THE TERANG, SINGING BOWL AND BOARD ZITHER. WHILE AT TIMES THE ALBUM SOUNDS STEEPED IN THE BRITISH ISLES, ON OCCASION THE SONGS OPEN AMIDST DRONES AND IMPROVISATIONS FOR EXCURSIONS FAR BEYOND OUR SHORES. BRITISH / PSYCH / FOLK / CAMBRIDGE / GREEN; VINYL LIMITED TO 500 COPIES ONLY (180GM)
