Dreamier Than Downton

 

I got nothing.

 


 1996 - Drop


The actual debut album by Colfax Abbey.

This is the dreamy shoegaze pop you're tender heart desires.

The band existed for only a couple of very short years and only put out these two discs and a single (still currently on the wantlist)

The band is linked on the internet as being part of a disastrous 1997 tour with Brian Jonestown Massacre. I'm reasonably sure that was the second BJM show I saw at the 400 Bar which was a tense one with some onstage fighting and the tambourine player storming offstage.

Which means I likely saw Colfax Abbey that night as well. I just don't really have a memory of it nearly a quarter of a century later.

So it goes.
