about

Seventeen are a secret – a supergroup from the halcyon days of the mid-1990’s with catchy pop songs that will disarm you. This charming intimacy will break hearts with bittersweet grittiness. Quiet. Unassuming. Understated. And fucking poignant.

Is is an estranged friend – and sometimes (once were/could or should have been) lover. You – like them; you both know who each other are – or rather were; once upon a time when you were bright and wild-eyed and bushy-tailed. This is life and its love – its love’s – catching you. It – life – catches up with you and ensnares you in its traps and makes – or tries – to make an adult out of you – whatever the fucking hell that is.

Deceptively simple. Endlessly complex. This – Seventeen’s recording – is a private late night conversation. Close friends hold hands disclosing painful confidences of temptation. Best served late at night and alone with whatever cures what ails ya. It is a lullaby rocking you gently to sleep with fragile whispers and tender awkward caresses. It is a slack blanket comforting you as you shiver with the vague hopes and regrets of despairing urbane inner-city innocence.

The record cover artwork deceives. This record will fuck you with the memory of a love so tender that it will haunt you and you will never forget it – no matter how hard you try; you simply cannot. Stark, raw and bare-boned with the pained beauty of a brutally honest poetry. Straightey – 180.
