GBV’s 1987 debut remains unique in the band’s discography, even after 3 dozen subsequent albums. It has an often dark and mysterious vibe, contains more instrumentals than any GBV album, includes Tobin’s first appearance, and features both studio and homemade recordings. Many germs of what would become defining traits for the group are already present here, right out of the gate.
