The High Llamas classic 90s output comes back to lifeavailable to independent retailers on vinyl for the first timein over twenty years. The vibrant and colourful sweep ofthis remarkable six-album arc shines in new pressings ofthe original masters, including the first-ever vinyl pressingfor their debut album, Santa Barbara.
The High Llamas were founded by Sean OHagan(emerging from a high-flying eight year run withMicrodisney), Jon Fell, Marcus Holdaway and Rob Allum.Special note should be made of the work of CharlieFrancis throughout the creation of the first three albums.As engineer / backing vocalist / synth player / and co-producer, his long hours of dedication and commitmentearned him the title of honorary High Llama.
For the Llamas 1992 debut, Sean OHagan, working thesextant to navigate a post-Microdisney course in themusical world, posted them up as a guitar pop band (RIYL:
NRBQ, Big Star, Steely Dan), with nine exquisitely craftedexamples of the oft out-of-step sound. Had there been nomore after this, Santa Barbara would still be sought-after
buried treasure by the perennial waves of voyagersseeking these sweet, jangling spices to this very day. Thisis the first time ever this album has been pressed on vinyl!
