Despite the trio's punk and emo credentials, Manifesto owes most of its sound to English and Scottish jangle poppers of the C-86 generation and after, especially the Vaselines and the Pastels. The choice of producer for their sole album, 1992's Manifesto, is John A. Rivers, an inspired idea. Rivers' trademark clean, chorused production adds a bit of British indie jangle gloss to what in less capable hands might be a much less striking set of tunes. Subtle keyboard gloss enhances some of the album, but the production never even veers close to slick; it merely leavens Hampton's typically intense and emotional songwriting.
Condition:NEW.
