Well, I’ve slipped back a year again (kinda - the single was out in ‘91, the album in ‘92…), but I have my reasons. This one just popped into my head while I was thinking about The Wedding Present. 10 points if you know why…

Airhead’s sole album was, in the words of the NME, “an irrepressible, intensely likeable pop album delivered with a sackload of energy, spirit and zero pretension”. Shiny happy pop people making no attempt to hide their influences, in other words. And taken on that level, hard to hate.
