The Bevis Frond is a British neo-psychedelic/indie rock band that was founded in 1986 in London. With their unique blend of mesmerizing melodies and thought-provoking lyrics, they have captivated audiences worldwide. Drawing inspiration from the likes of *The Green Pajamas*, *The Dream Syndicate*, and *Robyn Hitchcock*, The Bevis Frond has carved out their own distinct sound within the music industry.

Known for their experimental approach to music, The Bevis Frond has been compared to bands such as *Thin White Rope* and *Green On Red*. Their eclectic style combines elements of psychedelic rock with indie sensibilities, creating a sonic experience that is both captivating and unforgettable.

Over the years, The Bevis Frond has garnered a loyal following who appreciate their raw talent and innovative songwriting. Influential artists like *Steve Wynn* and *The Soft Boys* have praised their work, further solidifying their place in the music scene. Whether you're a fan of neo-psychedelia or simply looking for something new to explore, The Bevis Frond's discography is sure to leave an indelible mark on your musical journey.

Recorded in Gold Dust Studios with a new sense of optimism and a fuller sound down to lots of extra energy (Nick believed it might be their last ever record) and the addition of piano and keyboards brings an instrumental direction. With former Hawkwind bassist Adrian Shaw and Ex-Marrillion tub thumper Andy Ward, the album – some 72 minutes of poetic majesty; super chunky in places, silkily soft elsewhere – is a smorgasbord of melodies, from tear jerkingbeauty to maximum riffage (with added guitarist Bari Watts on Can’t Feel It).

Reissued on Double LP for the first time since 2000, lovingly packaged in a Gatefold sleeve for Record Store Day 2020.
