'First Big Weekend' is a great record, and the LP
is all great too.  I have a review on my ezine if
anyone really wants to know what i thought/think
of it.  The 'Clearing' 12" is great too, with the
Belle connection and some cool beatz remixes on
the flip.

Musically it's quite slow guitar sound i guess...
quite like Mogwai (with whom they made  a single
recently i think?), or if you want to go further
afield, not unlike Tortoise or Slint.

hope that helps someone.
