I thought that's why the thread was revived!
Anyway, count me among the people that missed out on the band more or less entirely. In my case I think I was always confused by comparisons to both the Kinks *and* shoegaze. At the time my brain could just not make that compute.

They have covered a lot of ground, even the differences between BCMYLB and The 3 Way (arguably in the same stylistic genre) are noticeable.
It definitely started off very beholden to MBV, before that 1966 feel crept in.
But even ETPB, which came before, is the most wonderfully unusual, soporific gaze record, slowly edging toward those 1960s elements.

I think I always got them mixed up with the Swirlies, too.

Hunt3r sorry I’ve not been engaging more with your Lilys dive I think it’s awesome though and glad you’re enjoying all of the phases!

Wow that’s a very overwhelmingly 1995 era setlist. Cool!

No worry at all— also, this thread has enough volume and depth that the education available is pretty nice.

Nice, the Harlow's recording was done by me. Used Zoom H1n with built-in mics.
