Believe it or not The High Llamas were a 90s band, such was their knack of nailing the purest of Big Star meets The Band and Steely Dan sounds. Their peak-back catalogue gets a Drag City reissue with some records making it onto big disc for the first time. Perfection!

For the Llamas’ 1992 debut, Sean O’Hagan, working the sextant to navigate a post-Microdisney course in the musical world, posted them up as a guitar pop band (RIYL: NRBQ, Big Star, Steely Dan), with nine exquisitely crafted examples of the oft out-of-step sound. Had there been no more after this, Santa Barbara would still be sought-after buried treasure by the perennial waves of voyagers seeking these sweet, jangling spices to this very day. 1st ever LP pressing!
