The High Llamas - Cold and Bouncy (LP)

The High Llamas' classic '90s output comes back to life, available to independent retailers on vinyl for the first time in over 20 years. The vibrant and colourful sweep of this remarkable six-album arc shines in new pressings of the original masters, including the first-ever vinyl pressing for their debut album, Santa Barbara.

The High Llamas were founded by Sean O'Hagan (emerging from a high-flying eight year run with Microdisney), Jon Fell, Marcus Holdaway and Rob Allum. Special note should be made of the work of Charlie Francis throughout the creation of the first three albums. As engineer/backing vocalist/synth player/and co-producer, his long hours of dedication and commitment earned him the title of honorary High Llama.

Having passed - at least figuratively - through hundreds of years over the course of their previous two albums, the good ship High Llamas docked, fully loaded, into a congenial present moment for once in its life. O'Hagan's continued work with Tim Gane and Stereolab caused a healthy dose of electronica to spike the Llamas' already heady brew, creating an apex of late 1990s-style neoexotica. For fans of Mouse on Mars, Oval, Grand Royal, Dots and Loops...
