I was 16 and it was only the second gig I had ever been to (the first was The Beautiful South at Liverpool Royal Court a few months earlier). The Sundays were pretty rubbish at being pop stars. No glitzy aspirational image, barely did interviews, low-key videos, and a less-than-showy live show… Only thing is: The Sundays made near-celestial pop music. In a career that never reached its promise, they released only three albums: this, their 1990 debut; 1992’s Blind and Static & Silencefive years later. After that, The Sundays simply stopped.Settled down with 20-something children, and with a reliable heating system, maybe they’ve now just run out of things to write about. Budman, Matthew (3 December 1997). "A Long Sundays' Journey into Night". VH1 . Retrieved 30 March 2011. Ah, some levity. Barmy lyrics about joining The Salvation Army, the Civil Service and going to Piccadilly Circus (“I took the first bus home”) reiterate ‘outsider’ status, but well-knowing: “My hopeless youth it’s just so uncouth” echoes the notion that wisdom, as in Can’t Be Sure, will come later. Gavurin’s scratchy jangle is very mid-80s indie and Paul Brindley’s bassline is a close relation of Hollow Horseby The Icicle Works, early ‘dream pop’ explorers of 1983-84.

Here’s Where The Story Ends is a song that could only be written by someone in their early twenties just out of college standing on the edge know they have a whole lot of theories about life and precious little experience. The song is so spectacular because of Harriet’s ability to sing with such innocent conviction and crystalline etherealness. The Smithesque guitar makes for sheer perfection. There are precious few songs that would ever wax so poetic about erotic incidences in a shed or be loving someone for the books they read. This song alone explains why The Sundays are so beloved and fondly remembered. David Gavurin met Harriet Wheeler at Bristol University and soon became intertwined. He was reading Romantic Languages; she, English Literature. So, if The Sundays were an archetypal ‘student band’ that’s because they were, indeed, archetypal students.

And we should just accept The Sundays’ nine year existence for what it was – a glorious three album era.
