Ha yeah I had to double check it’s release date too! Honestly one of my all time favourite records. Feel like I can stick it on in any mood. Would fully recommend checking out the rest of their catalogue. Lesser Matters and Pet Grief are more towards the noisy end of the shoegaze spectrum whilst Running Out of Love continues down a more dance-ier route that Clinging touches on.

Just a really consistently great band! Love them so much.

Don’t think I’ve seen ANY Iceage or Tim Hecker mentions (correct me if I’m wrong) which is a surprise

Hasn’t put out any great music this decade so that seems reasonable :wink:

Dodging the increasingly acrimonious Have One on Me/Divers debate by going for both. Clever.

Thanks, I’ll check them out. I did really enjoy Clinging To A Scheme at the time.

Such a great album. Third Dystopia and Raspberry Cane make up one of the best back-to-back song combinations ever.

Not trolling you, just misread what you wrote🤨

I have ‘Love Streams’ on my list!
