A brief follow-up to the
Crystal Set's From Now On LP I posted a little while back. Commandeered by Russell Kilbey (brother of the Church's Steve Kilbey) the Set could have very well been played on the radio adjacent to The Church, but of course that's a lazy notion. At any rate, "A Furious Mess" is above average, turn-of-the-decade alt-pop with ringing chords and a mildly more linear bent than what their previous long-player suggested. Almost addictive on repeat plays, while the slower, moodier flip, "Some Attention" is a solid fit for the b-side it became. "Furious Mess" is taken from the
Umbrella, which Discogs claims to be a compilation of some sort, not so much a proper album.

Thank you for this and From Now On. I remember hearing about them back then, but never getting anything. This is great stuff, I need more.
You're welcome folks!
