The Shadow Ring's Lighthouse captures the group at their most spare and inventive. Recorded in 1997 after their final US tour and first released in 1999, it combines Graham Lambkin's fragmented writing with lo-fi home recordings, field recordings and musique concrète. Folkestone's coastline, fading British folklore and everyday absurdity drift through songs influenced by Alternative TV, Robert Ashley and Mark Perry. Long unavailable, this singular and quietly unsettling album is finally back in print.
