Freshly pressed and reissued for a new era, The High Llamas sound as cutting-edge now as they did when they first burst onto the music scene as Britain's answer to the Beach Boys. The band's founding member, Sean O'Hagan, earned his reputation for pop classicism in the sophisti-pop group Microdisney, which split-up in 1988, merely days after opening for David Bowie in London. The High Llamas is a reinvention away from that sound, with O'Hagan having gravitated towards Baroque '60s melodies, orchestral strings, and vintage synths. They have a spectacular back catalogue, which includes a particularly fruitful period in the 90s, when they released five studio albums. Of which, all have been out of print for more than 20 years but are now subject to reissue through the esteemed Drag City label. One of the most sought after in this collection is Gideon Gaye, considered along with Hawaii as a high water mark, so to see it accessible once again is a joy.
