A British band that mixed new wave energy with clever songwriting across four decades.
If you want to hear what they were about, try 'Senses Working Overtime' or 'Dear God'. Both songs show how they could wrap a big idea in a catchy melody.
They wrote songs that felt like puzzles and pop hits at the same time. 'Senses Working Overtime' got radio play, but it was never just a simple tune. Their catalog is full of sharp observations and unexpected turns, like 'The Ballad Of Peter Pumpkinhead' and 'Greenman'.
They started in Swindon in 1972 and put out 'White Music' in 1978. Over the years, they released albums like 'English Settlement' and 'The Big Express' while the lineup shifted. They kept recording until 2006, always blending pop structures with something a little off-kilter.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
