For a while thereโ€”at the back end of the โ€™80sโ€”Guy Chadwickโ€™s House Of Love seemed the men most likely to leave the indie pack trailing. Then the Roses/Mondays/Scream axis emerged, the band was riven by in-fighting and all seemed lost, leaving behind some wryly romantic, cerebral guitar music. The bubbling jangle of โ€œNeverโ€ is glorious, as is โ€œI Donโ€™t Know Why I Love Youโ€โ€˜s surging pop, but much of their best work (โ€œSalomeโ€, โ€œChristineโ€) was recorded pre-Fontana, for Creation. Worth rediscovering nonetheless.
