The undisputed leader of the pack, singer Lawrence Hayward's writing fell somewhere between the dingy gloom of post-punk and the tasteful melodicism of alternative rock, and it was those sensibilities which laid the foundations for a glut of cult classics. Whether it be Splendour Of Fear's sodden bleakness, Forever Breathes The Lonely Word's college friendly gems or Me And The Monkey On The Moon's personal pop-perfection, pretty much every corner of Felt's discography is outstanding in it's own right, with no peaks to single out and certainly no valleys to avoid. It might not be ideal for beginners, but their catalogue is truly unmissable, and in a just world would see them ranked alongside Joy Division, R.E.M. and The Smiths in the chronicles of indie rock greatness.
