about

For those who already know about Sunday Records, this is a smartly crafted, hour-long collection of their early indiepop, and it's a bit more consistent than the scarce Sarah Records comps. The Sweetest Ache gets the plaintive humming going with "A New Beginning", their 1993 song about being "blinded by life" and "wounded by beauty". The song, a perfect first track ever there is one, sets the tone for the consistently quiet, slightly melancholy pop which is to follow. Po!, a group I'm unfamiliar with, do a remarkable song about a gal named "Fay" and Sugarplant comes across like a female-led Velvet Underground. I wasn't that good in chemistry, but it sure seems to me that sadness wrapped in light pop equals sweetness. Among my favorites here are tracks by Slumber ("I'll Never Know Another Christmas Day") and the Proctors (a previously unreleased duet called "Snow"), both of which could be marketed as Field Mice song. The Slumber track has a similar melody as "Willow", but with a strong guitar part closing it out, while the guy from the Proctors sounds pleasingly like a Bobby Wratten ringer. Most of this collection will be essential to anybody who agrees with the "emo" philosophy in concept (i.e. songs should be emotional), but appends, "Just like ABBA and Aztec Camera before us." This is highly recommended if you're looking for a pop record to play repeatedly. - TD
