The Close Lobsters' first album has been enough lauded elsewhere, and there's no question about the fact that it is still one of the most important indiepop albums released. It came out on Fire in 1987, and I'd like to bring you what is definitely the stand-out track, at least in my opinion: "In Spite of These Times". It is is probably the best example of the productional feats of John A. Rivers in the Royal Leamington Spa studio - along with Razorcuts' Creation catalogue.
