Head Over Heels

Released

Recorded in the interim time between the departure of original bassist Will Heggie and the later arrival of Simon Raymonde, Head Over Heels found Robin Guthrie and Elizabeth Frazer in high creative health, exchanging the somewhat monochromatic feeling of Garlands for a broader, often very involving sonic palette. The blend of Guthrie’s famed guitar atmospherics and Frazer’s beautifully unusual vocals remained paramount, while the songs touched on everything from jazz-pop grooves to elegant dramatics on compositions such as “Five Ten Fiftyfold,” “Sugar Hiccup” and “Musette and Drums.”
