Martin Stephenson And The Daintees

UK first press 1988. Record in beautiful condition. Sleeve has minor wear.
1988 and the Daintees hit their stride with a record that’s equal parts jangly pop, folk charm and bittersweet storytelling. Stephenson’s songwriting swings from playful to poignant, always with that warm Geordie lilt that makes even the sad tunes feel like a hug. Criminally overlooked but absolutely class if you’re into smart, heartfelt indie before it got too mopey. FFO: Aztec Camera on a sunny day, The Waterboys but more cheeky, and jangly 80s pop with actual soul.
