The Mighty Lemon Drops 'Hear Me Call' (Sounds Cover-Mount, 1987)

Proper, spindly, Paisley-shirted indie from the late 80s.

Rickenbackers set to 'shrill', production budget set to 'little or none', ambition the size of Wolverhampton Civic Hall.

Wonderful piece of yearning, Echo and the Bunnymen-indebted indie before the word became almost meaningless. Ironically, one of the very first wave of indie bands to be signed to major and struggle to break through due to credibility issues. They would have sold no more records but been much more well-regarded if they'd been on Creation.

Reminiscent of The Primitives and the epic Scouse rock of The Icicle Works, 'Hear Me Call' is a rush of enthusiasm and a good tune.
