‘Little Eden’ glows with vintage McCartney-esque couplets before rolling out a chiming signature riff on ‘As I
Lay Down To Die’ and adopting Jimi-like phrasing on ‘And Away We Go’. A psychedelically-hewn panoramic take on brutalism Britain
punctuated with pure pop melodies and beautifully-observed English melancholy. This is an album that rekindles your love of music –
from the harmonies that are oh-so Teenage Fanclub and Lemonheads, to the grunge and awe of Dinosaur Jr. There’s perspective and
retrospective tale-spinning where we wait “for the wonderful world to come” (©‘Start Burning’), an imaginary future soundtracked by the
spirit of Arthur Lee, brought into focus with witty wordplay on songs that are littered with spine tingling guitar breaks. A brand new
album from national treasures The Bevis Frond. “A cult favourite.” Pitchfork // Just what you want from “the E17 psych guru.”
