Neo Wave [Import LP]

Vinyl LP pressing. London's Power Pop geeks might have only had the spotlight on them for a brief number of years, but the impact they made within that time has certainly been long lasting. Coming to prominence during the 'second wave' of the brit-pop era, their crunchy barre chords, big choruses and complex multi-layered harmonies were perhaps more suited to the American Power Pop and Pop-Punk scenes. Neo Wave was their second album. An album packed full of trademark huge guitar riffs and layers upon layers of scintillating harmonies. Produced by Al Clay, the two singles 'Too Much, Too Little, Too Late' (a Johnny Mathis and Deniece Williams cover) and 'I'll See You Around' both landed in the UK top 40 with the album going on to chart in the top 100.
