Despite being the only band to release an album on Postcard in the 1980s, Josef K are sort of that label's forgotten band, the chart success of Orange Juice and Aztec Camera having largely eluded them. Which isn't surprising considering their more... let's say idiosyncratic sound (which Franz Ferdinand are now channeling to far more lucrative effect).
I'd never call them one of my favourites and I do find them a bit wearying in large doses, but it can't be denied they were unfairly underrated and they did have at least a couple of genuinely great tunes. Absolutely love the guitar in this one.
