Drop Out - East Village [CD Deluxe Edition]

An autumnal treasure, East Village's 'Drop Out' has spent the past thirty years finding new ears to bewitch and new hearts to melt. The only album from this British four-piece, recorded and released in the early nineties, it's long been considered one of the hidden jewels of its time, and is talked of with hushed reverence by people who know. Bob Stanley of Saint Etienne once called it 'an elegy for a particular brand of eighties guitar music, sweet minor chords and Dylanesque lyrics', which captures what makes it so special; in summarising its era, though, it also effortlessly transcends it. This 30th anniversary edition features a bonus disc compiling the group's early singles and alternative versions.
