A String Of Crafted Singles Peppered The Band’s First Albums. From ‘Swimmer’ Came ‘Prospect Street’, Named After An Edward Hopper Painting, It Betrayed Some Of The Formative Influences Lindsay Had Discovered During His Time At The Glasgow School Of Art. ‘Slide, A Salubrious Shuffle-Beat Of A Single Brought Acclaim From The Critics Who By Now Were Comparing The Band Favourably With The Likes Of The Blue Nile, Prefab Sprout, The Bible, China Crisis And Tears For Fears.
