Believe it or not The High Llamas were a 90s band, such was their knack of nailing the purest of Big Star meets The Band and Steely Dan sounds. Their peak-back catalogue gets a Drag City reissue with some records making it onto big disc for the first time. Perfection!
Having passed – at least figuratively – through hundreds of years over the course of their previous two albums, the good ship High Llamas docked, fully loaded, into a congenial present moment for once in its life. O’Hagan’s continued work with Tim Gane and Stereolab caused a healthy dose of electronica to spike the Llamas’ already heady brew, creating an apex of late 90s-style neo-exotica. RIYL: Mouse On Mars, Oval, Grand Royal, Dots and Loops.
