This is THE introduction to this band! A 16 song collection of the finest cuts from the band's first four albums. This is the only collection available. Includes two NEW songs, and two previously unreleased acoustic versions of Contrast favorites - "Mystery #1" and "Perfect Disguise"! Packaged in a beautiful tri-fold digi-pak. "One of the best bands on the planet - and England too." - Little Steven Van Zandt. "This quartet produces a sound that calls to mind many bands that have gone before (among them the jangly Rickenbackers of The Byrds, the sonic-guitar force of Bob Mould in Husker Du or Sugar or as a solo artist, the guitar-swathed vocals of early R.E.M., the poetic moody rock of Television, the swagger of many a raw garage band, the anger of a younger Costello or Jackson or Parker), yet they remain true originals, carving out a sound that is distinctly their own" – Fufkin.com. The Constrast have consistently delivered album after album of solid songwriting, intelligent and thoughtful lyrics wrapped up in 3-minute pop songs - bringing on infectious grooves, all tinted with a rose-colored neo-garage rock glow – and here it’s all gathered up perfectly. With their darkly tuneful melodies, haunting four-part harmonies, and scathing guitars, British quartet The Contrast is in debt to '60s influences as filtered through latter-day groups like the Smithereens and reminds us a lot of The Gripweeds, too.
