In the Golden Autumn

'In the Golden Autumn' is a product of founding Cleaners from Venus member Martin Newell and fellow kitchen porter, Martin Chapman. Remastered for a long overdue release, this legendary lo-fi band, which continues to be highly influential Martin Newell, who formed the legendary lo-fi band Cleaners From Venus, in the small town of Wivenhoe, England began work on 'In the Golden Autumn' in the warm early spring of 1983. One of Newell’s chief problems at this time, apart from constant money shortages, was finding musical collaborators who shared his own skewed pop vision.The absolute opposite of a musical perfectionist, the founding Cleaner believed that great pop was to be had by doing things quickly in a slapdash fashion and by "fumbling around in the dark in search of happy accidents."

Last year, Captured Tracks reissued Cleaners From Venus’ first three albums from the early 1980s, each one an accomplished masterpiece of guitar pop home recordings. Now a new vinyl/download set from the label continues the story of the English band, focusing on their work up until the middle of that decade, a time of political and social despair in the UK.
