The label is run by Mark Dobson, formerly of Sarah Records stalwarts The Field Mice, and the handmade sleeves and carefully crafted inserts are clearly a nod to his former label. The Double A side’s melancholy tales of regret and remorse demonstrate why the band have been favourably compared with likes of Belle and Sebastian and Teenage Fanclub.

Released on the belligerently low-key Prefect Records run by a former member of The Field Mice, the album was mixed by Ian Catt, long-time producer of that band and its various splinter groups. Given that, there is unsurprisingly a nod to the sound of Sarah Records, but the record also wears it’s Teenage Fanclub and Big Star influences heavily on its sleeve. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band claim the album was primarily influenced by a request from their label for shorter up- tempo songs, and them getting a distortion pedal for Christmas 2022.  In truth the album is a homage to turning twenty, driving about in your first car, and falling in and out of love in a working class seaside town where nothing much happens.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prefect Records","offers":[{"title":"Blue LP","offer_id":50519489478987,"sku":"2226298","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Mt.Misery_front_0922a82a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727971347"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/mt-misery.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
