Can't explain (Long-View) (LP 3028)

Long-View  Mercury (CD, 14th Floor Records, 2005) ****  

Genre: Indie rock

Places I remember: I'm not sure how I ended up with this album. I can't explain.

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Further

Gear costume: Can't Explain

They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5

Active compensatory factors: Long-View are an English indie rock band, or were. This was their only album and I don't know too much about them.

So, to the album. It's pretty cool - tuneful, catchy, soaring, guitar based indie rock that still sounds great many years on.

Looks like Ron McVey is the main man of the foursome. He wrote most of the songs, sings and plays guitar. The band are rounded out by a drummer/bassist and a fellow guitarist. 

All very likeable. Why didn't they kick on and become huge?

Where do they all belong? A real one-off. I wonder what happened to them. An enigmatic presence in the collection.
