Will Anything Happen?

Shop Assistants, “Will Anything Happen?” (Overground, 1997; original release 1986)
As much as or more than the Reid Bros., this is the template – girl groupish melodies filtered through rumbling/ringing drums, hazy/pretty vocals and chiming/roaring guitars – that launched Vivian Girls, Best Coast, Pains of. . .., and pretty much everything else on Slumberland over the last few years. And while those inheritors have turned it into something different and often wonderful, there’s a beauty and purity to the original that really must be heard.
