West Coast Pop from the East Midlands. A wash of sunshine-soaked California sounds from, er, Leicester, this debut album was lost due to a computer failure a year ago and re-recorded from scratch by songwriter Joe Wiltshire and vocalist Marc Johnston. It acquires an accumulative effect of not-trying-to-hard charm. As the chord changes eke out nostalgia and optimism to equal degrees, highlights emerge - "Out My Pocket", "Song That Fades Away" - and Side Two of Abbey Road is happily evoked.
