The group began as a jangly indie pop band influenced by Primal Scream ‘s early sound. By the time they recorded their first EP , Barging Into the Presence of God , released in 1989, the band went into a direction that displayed a mix of Ian Masters’ ethereal, choirboy-like vocals along with dark atmospheric and noisy pop tunes. Ashley Horner from Edsel Auctioneer briefly joined the band on guitar in the same year. The band was signed to 4AD Records after their first London show by the label’s chief Ivo Watts-Russell .
