Studio debut album by Echobelly. I never understood why the band was labelled britpop. I think, it's much more power pop and indie pop with elements of dream pop. The track "Insomniac" made me buy the album. The rest is okay but not really up to that level. Still, the album is a fine and promising debut, which alas, was never parred.
