Gone But Forgotten: The House of Love

My infrequent series on albums, movies or bands that were either
denied classic status on release or have been forgotten about
since. I've gone on at painful length about my anger at The House
of Love - the first exciting and original British indie guitar
band since The Smiths - never being included in conversations
about either Shoegaze or Britpop, despite being more foundational
and sooner for bands like RIDE and Slowdive than My Bloody
Valentine themselves. The fact is, that with most of their best
material being recorded before the 90's waves even began, they
were too soon to a party they helped create. Here a look back at
their debut album and the releases either side, that show them as
one of the best British bands of the whole show.
