Close Lobsters - A Prophecy [1987]



The five members of UK's Close Lobsters released two jangle pop pillars in the late 80s before quietly going their separate ways. Foxheads Stalk This Land, their debut record, featured subdued but emotive vocals, immaculate pop hooks, and instrumentation resembling a more upbeat Smiths/Cure hybrid. In its relatively more relaxed delivery, A Prophecy manages to stand out as especially addictive with its stream-of-conscious lyrics and phenomenal lead guitar work.
