About this item

It's been 14 years since their debut EP "Amescream" and 12 since their eponymous mini album, in which time they have undergone several changes of style, from the dreamy and exotic post-Sonic Youth landscapes of "Blonde Redhead" and "La Mia Violenta" to the jagged art rock of "Fake Can Be Just As Good" and the intensely personal "Misery Is A Butterfly", apparently an insight into Kazu Makino's melancholic state of mind after her trampling by a horse. What has tied them all together are Makino's eerie, aching vocals, an instinct for the sublime, and the passion that drips from every pore of their music; all of which are perfectly distilled in this, probably their finest album.
