Ok, I've gotten full into these guys. Picked up "Leaves Me Blind" last year and was blown away that I had missed them back in the day, it really fits in perfectly with the early 90s shoegaze scene but adds something uniquely Australian. Then I finally went back and listened to the rest of their catalog and picked up "Dream It Down", "Rushall Station" and the really intriguing "Cold Feeling". (I passed on "Ways T'Burn", that direction didn't work for me.)
Now to check out their reunion material...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfNBH_zyPe8 is a great video. "The Rerun" is maybe my favorite of the reformation tunes. Still absorbing the new record, but glad they released it as on cd vs. vinyl/download only.
Anytime someone falls for the Undies, I give a RIYL tangent to Glide. The same Oz mixtape swap that introduced me to me "In My Head" and "Takes You Back", turned me on to Glide, Custard, You Am I, TISM, Karma County, and a handful of others. Great stuff. Glide put out four albums (one posthumous to the singer's death) and a bunch of singles, all worth hearing.

Funny enough, I was way into Glide in the late 90s due to their being championed by The Big Takeover magazine. Wonderful stuff indeed, ending so tragically.

I struggle to remember much about Ways T'Burn when it's not playing but I've got a lot of mileage out of this performance of Starsigns on Saturday morning yoof oriented TV.

Aside from Starsigns, the only WTB which stays with me is the title track, languid and sweet.
