Produced by Grammy Award-winning Ken Nelson (Coldplay, Gomez, The Charlatans), the album introduced their cinematic blend of darkly romantic songwriting, atmospheric guitars, and Juanita Stein's unmistakable vocals. Hailed upon release as a modern alternative classic, Pitchfork praised Stein's 'thoroughly unexpected, confidently strange, and immediately commanding' voice, while NME simply called it 'an extraordinary album.' The Guardian described it as 'bruising, narcotised rock'n'roll, refracted through the bottom of a glass, darkly... on the verge of unequivocal magnificence'. MOJO celebrated 'an utterly flawless, heart-twisting vocal throughout,' praising her ability to turn 'tales of sorrow and betrayal' into 'something exquisite,' and Clash observed that 'it's the voice that grabs you,' calling it 'a wonderfully lucid piece of songwriting, emotion lingering on each note.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwenty years later, the album retains its intoxicating magic. Still, the opening seconds pull you in; still, the record won\\u2019t let you go. For the first time ever on vinyl, listeners can experience one of the great alternative debuts of its era in a format worthy of its enduring legacy.","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56344677056897,"sku":"3302073","price":24.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/5053760155768_6A511466.png?v=1790943134","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/3302073","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
