Gently chiming melancholy, and one of Ash's most beautiful moments. After the teenage trio rose to fame during the Britpop years with their energetic pop punk, they recruited additional guitaristCharlotte Hatherleyin 1997 and became a four piece. They returned in 1998 with their second album Nu Clear Sounds, where darker, heavier moods were offset with delicate spells of introspection. Something they had in common with many other indie groups at the time. The band released their latest album Islands earlier this year.
