The House Of Love - shake and crawl, 1990

"A true masterpiece of indie music. For a short time between The Smiths and The Stone Roses; The House of Love were going to take over the world. It was a delicate blend of shoegaze and dream pop. Lush fragile melodies with beautifully written songs. This was there first album on the Fontana label and their third self-titled release. At the time of release the band was is disarray, it had just lost Terry Bickers, who was against the signing to Fontana. His departure at a motorway services from the tour bus and psychedelic guitar are legendary. I think that his influence on the album is much deeper than anyone could imagine."
