"The High Llamas' classic '90s output comes back to life on vinyl for the first time in over twenty years. The vibrant and colorful sweep of their remarkable six-album arc shines in new pressings of the original masters, which include the first-ever vinyl pressing for their debut album, Santa Barbara. The High Llamas were founded by Sean O'Hagan, Jon Fell, Marcus Holdaway, and Rob Allum. Gideon Gaye was written and recorded on a small budget with almost military resolve. Shifting to a piano-based sound and obsessively chasing retro aspects of '60s and '70s production to dizzying new heights, The High Llamas put a marvelously austere frame around O'Hagan's already-filmic song constructions. Light and accessible, the sound of Gideon Gaye gobsmacked grunge-soaked listeners with its new twist on classic art-pop design elements. Special note should be made of the work of Charlie Francis throughout the creation of the first three albums. As engineer/backing vocalist/synth player/and co-producer, his long hours of dedication and commitment earned him the title of honorary High Llama."
