The Close Lobsters

The Close Lobsters - Headache Rhetoric


Genre: Indie Pop / Jangle Pop
Based in...: UK
Label: Fire
Year: 1989
My Rate: 7/10
Headache Rhetoric was the last album by The Close Lobsters and it's more agressive and tense than early releases, with roilling guitars and a sense of prediction/presentiment expressed in the lyrics. The whole album is enjoyable but there isn't any memorable song besides Lovely Little Swan, Nature Thing and Knee Trembler which is yet not that much. The lyrics are still great(check them here.) with the jangly guitars full of overall effects in addition producing an even more psychedelic sound . This was an appreciated effort to make a good album and kinda is after all.
