Their debut, "Realistic" and the "Lately" EP.

Long Distance is the last one I fell hard for, though the following discs each had highlights. Apartment Life is my favorite, then Realistic. Happy to have seen them supporting Lloyd Cole way back. Periodically check for word of a new disc, but it's been a while.

Same, never really got into FoW but Ivy soundtracked a good part of my 00's. RIP. Fuck this virus.

Never really listened to this band, even when AS passed, but somebody elsewhere posted something this morning and now they are really hitting the spot today.

I adore apartment life. “the best thing” is one of the very best songs of the 90s

A half-hour tribute to AS, drawing together various home videos and the like, has just been released by the surviving members:
