Throughout the early 1980s, Felt released a number of oblique, minimalistic guitar pop gems. In 1986 they broke through with the single “Primitive Painters” (featuring the Cocteau Twins’ Elizabeth Fraser), and the album “Forever Breathes The Lonely Word”. Here, Hayward’s trademark melodic songs are matched by a fuller sound - catchy organ lines from Martin Duffy (now with Primal Scream) and Deebank’s cascading guitars feature throughout. |Following this, releases in 1987 of Poem Of The River, in 1988 of The Pictorial Jackson Review, and in 1989 of Me And A Monkey On The Moon, cemented Felt’s cult following and reputation...
