The Soft Boys: Kimberly Rew (vocals, guitar, synthesizer, bass); Robyn Hitchcock (vocals, guitar, bass); Morris Windsor (vocals, drums); Matthew Seligman (bass). Additional personnel: Andy King (sitar); Gerry Hale (violin). Includes liner notes by David Fricke. Disc 2 digitally remastered by Matt at SAE Mastering, Phoenix, Arizona. The second album by The Soft Boys was also their final release (though the odds-and-ends set INVISIBLE HITS followed and is worthy in its own right). The more oblique and jagged stylings of their debut (A CAN OF BEES) are left behind in favor of a punchy, hopped-up Byrds sound that perfectly complements Robyn Hitchcock's surreal imagery. This is the document that belatedly alerted the world to a great band. Unable to secure a release in the United States, The Soft Boys disbanded shortly after the release of UNDERWATER MOONLIGHT. Justifiably hailed as a classic, this is a powerful work of towering grace and finesse, forceful rhythms and big guitars in service to great songs--an essential album.
