This 1982 gem is a template for modern indie pop—short and sweet, with a dash of punk. The Glasgow band's debut album offered a bright alternative to the pervasive gray of the post-punk scene. Jangly guitars duel with sharp beats and jagged basslines, making for catchy dance-punk grooves (“Tender Object”) and poppy, horn-kissed love songs (“Wan Light” and celebratory Al Green cover “L.O.V.E. Love”) by the songwriting team of Edwyn Collins and James Kirk, whose wit is as sharp as their hooks.
