EDITORIAL REVIEWS
This brave foray into conceptual art music produced a jaw-dropping reset on the 20th century pop perspective. The High Llamas engaged songwriting and production with an eye toward filmmaking. Digging through ephemera of choice vintages with post-modern zest, they struck a rich vein they could call their own – a kind of gothic Americana, formal aspects pushed to extremes. The spirit of discovery here can be vibrantly felt over 30 years later. A1. Giddy Strings A2. The Dutchman A3. Giddy and Gay A4. Easy Rod A5. Checking In, Checking Out A6. The Goat Strings A7.
