The group, led by bassistvocalistwriter Justin Currie and writerguitarist Iain Harvie, worked with producer Gil Norton on demos in 1987 that led to them being signed to AampM Records. Working further with Hugh Jones and Mark Freegard, they made an album that chimed with the times, offering an antidote to Madchester with its beguiling selection of grownup pop. Opening track and first single Kiss This Thing Goodbye set the scene perfectly, a record that sounded like it should be played loud on a sunlit freeway, but it was the album039s third single, the affecting ballad Nothing Ever Happens, released as single at the start of 1990, that established the group in the UK while making significant inroads in the US.
