The Divine Comedy

A gritty, guitar-heavy departure from the band's later orchestral elegance. Raw indie rock recorded before the velvet suits and chamber pop arrived.

It's Neil Hannon before he became a dandy, playing fuzzy indie rock in a damp basement.

A restless and earnest search for identity through a haze of distorted guitars.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden burst of distorted guitar that breaks the tension in the title track.
The sprawling, seven-minute descent into feedback and repetition that closes the record.
Those high-register vocal strains that sound nothing like the artist's later baritone.
