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!

This brave foray into conceptual art music produced a jaw-dropping reset on the 20th century pop perspective. The High Llamas engaged songwriting and production with an eye toward filmmaking. Digging through ephemera of choice vintages with post-modern zest, they struck a rich vein they could call their own – a kind of gothic Americana, formal aspects pushed to extremes. The spirit of discovery here can be vibrantly felt over 30 years later.
