I wholeheartedly second this recommendation! It’s rare, I mean RARE that I get excited about new releases these days, but this recommendation is spot on.

They were nominally part of the Creation Records shoegazer thing, along with My Bloody Valentine, but they were well out beyond MBV in terms of sound.
