STAFF COMMENTS

Mine says: I have a difficult relationship with Shoegaze (that I won't go into now) but remember liking this record a lot in my early twenties so for nostalgic reasons decided to listen to it again. It's been a while but Sistine Chapel Ceiling is still giving me goosebumps - worth it for this gem of a song alone!
