'Don't Destroy Me' is one of the stand-out tunes (for me, anyway) of their short-lived Icerink label and features on one of their beautifully-designed 12"s. It's a dubby, divine slightly melancholy plea for romantic clemency, fronted by the mysterious Canny Golden, Celina Golden and Lucy Golden, who may or may not have actually existed.
It drifts in with a patter of drums - played by Joe Dilworth, otherwise known for his alternative music photography and for being the drummer in Th' Faith Healers, Too Pure band of no little note.
A gorgeous dubby bass weaves in, before a sonorous vocal picks up the melody. It also features an awesome flute solo. That's not something I find myself saying very often.
Bearing the catalogue number DAVO112, this was the first release on Icerink. There was another single, Wishful Thinking, but this is just perfection.
