Release Notes:
Vastly underappreciated during their brief stint on the indie
scene in the late 90s, this collection of sessions and singles
allows KhayaÆs gloriously scratchy pop to shine. Highlights
include æLove & WhipsÆ, which boasts a warm string-tinged,
whimsical melody aching with melancholy, the rumbling rhythms,
distorted vocals and surf guitar of æI Hate FuckingÆ and æThe
VampiresÆÆ blazing riffs and thumping pianos. The
Edinburgh-based sixsome, once championed by John Peel, are now
no more after splitting on stage in London in 2001, and while
weÆre not asking for a forced, finance-driven reunion, itÆs
about time that their excellence was acknowledged.
