Description:
The Sundays—a legendary band that delicately yet vividly colored the 1990s UK indie pop scene with their acoustic sound and crystalline vocals. Their three studio albums, released between 1990 and 1997, are now being reissued worldwide on CD and vinyl, spanning more than 30 years. This is the vinyl edition of their landmark 1990 debut album, *READING, WRITING AND ARITHMETIC* (Japanese title: *Tenshi no Sasayaki*), a masterpiece of ’90s indie pop. Formed in 1987 at the University of Bristol in the UK, the band centered around guitarist David Gablin and vocalist Harriet Wheeler. In 1990, their debut album *READING, WRITING AND ARITHMETIC* immediately reached No. 4 on the UK charts, and they gained popularity for their beautiful sound—a fusion of post-punk and neo-acoustic that differed from Britpop—and their pop sensibility. Following a bidding war among various labels, they signed with ROUGHTRADE and released this album, which shines with Harriet’s crystal-clear vocals, pop-infused melodies, and crisp, angular guitar work—an album that evokes The Smiths while exuding a dreamy, fresh atmosphere. Highly acclaimed as a landmark work of the ’90s indie pop scene, it reached No. 4 on the UK Albums Chart. “An angelic voice whispering across the ages. Harriet’s voice, radiating the brilliance of an unpolished gem, finally makes its global debut” (from the Japanese edition’s promotional copy at the time of its 1990 release).
