A band formed by an ex-member of Primal Scream, taking their name from the other "Crystal Crescent" b-side (there was already a band called "Velocity Girl") and signed to 4ad. How could they go wrong? Well...maybe it was the music. Not that they were bad or anything, but there was nothing really to distinguish them from any of the other shoegaze wannabes of the era. It was hard not to suspect that if they were led by Jim Bloggs out of Perth rather than Jim Beattie out of Primal Scream, 4ad would never have gone near them. Would never have heard of them to go near them.
Anyway, I don't mean to be quite so hard on them because I really do like this song. But...you'll see what I mean.
