This essential release from the legendary Sarah Records catalog represents a pivotal moment for the London based ensemble as they expanded their sonic palette beyond traditional indie pop boundaries. Released in June 1990 during the height of the label influence, the album features a striking geometric cover design that perfectly mirrors the blend of structured electronic rhythms and organic jangle found within.


While the band was often associated with the sensitive C86 movement, this specific mini album showcases their experimental ambition through the inclusion of the nine minute sequencer odyssey Triangle and the sample heavy Humblebee which famously inspired iconic fan merchandise. The record captures a unique historical intersection where bedroom pop sensibilities met the emerging energy of the late eighties dance and ambient scenes, resulting in tracks like the shimmering Canada and the atmospheric Below the Stars.


For dedicated collectors of British independent music, this artifact remains a definitive example of how a small label could harbor grand artistic visions that challenged the dismissive music press of the era. Its enduring legacy lies in the emotional depth and intricate production that continue to resonate with a new generation of listeners seeking authentic and vulnerable songwriting.
