About This Item
Limited edition of 1000 numbered copies on white & black marble coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. The Britpop era brought the world a bunch of great records, including Echobelly's second album On. Often compared to Blondie and known for their influences from The Smiths, they recorded some melodic and intense alternative guitar rock for this record. The album reached number 4 in the UK charts and including their famous singles InchKing of the KerbInch (about homelessness and prostitution) and InchGreat ThingsInch (about the future). Glen Johanssen is a superb musician and provided gritty, stained backdrops for Sonya Madan's otherworldly vocals. Memorable hooks and song who nesting into you head, it's the power of Echobelly. On is a worthy follow-up to it's predecessor and one of the better Britpop albums circulating in the mid-90s. Most prominent in Echobelly's success formula is the combination of Sonya Madan's unique voice and the outstanding lyrics. After a break of 5 years the band reunited in 2009 and since they've been playing a lot of concerts and recorded a new album in 2017, called Anarchy and Alchemy. Album Tracks 1. Car Fiction 2.
