    i came to know this album through my so beloved robyn hitchcock, who praised it on it's patron site.
    so i bought it without listen before and was blown away by it.
    this is a perfect classic british pop album with indie infusions, which sounds wonderful.
    he is such a great songwriter. i would imagine that he listened a lot of beatles as a child vis his parents, later indie music as inspiration, but that is speculation and does not matter.
    this is in my mind a must have or at least must check out for any fan of highly melodic pop music with depth.
    i am really happy to discover this rare pearl and thanky robyn for his recommendation.
