At the cross section of Mojo's "top 50 eccentric albums" and a 1990 kick lies that There She Goes band: The La's. Catchy enough, plenty of bump and jangle, with that post-Elvis-Costello//post-Michael-Stipe yowl that seems ready-made for whatever's after the 80's (surprise! not this, actually).
It's pretty, a totally fine trajectory out of the underground, packed with hooksome little gestures, reminding me of the Police, for reasons I can't quite justify.
Didn't make much of an impression on me first listen, but as I write-listen, I'm averaging a "shit, that's actually a pretty sweet little move" per sentence. Fine. Good enough for a provisional 3.5/5
