Album Notes Personnel: Amelia Fletcher (vocals, guitar); Eithne Farry (vocals, tambourine); Mathew Fletcher (drums). Recording information: England (09/07/1986-11/25/1987). Photographer: Mathew Fletcher . BACKWASH is the complete recorded works (including live tapes and British radio sessions) of the influential UK indie band Talulah Gosh. The band was active from 1986 to 1988, after which most of the members went on to form the sublime '90s pop band Heavenly. Taking their name from a magazine headline about Altered Images' Claire Grogan--also the subject of the song "Talulah Gosh" (which appears here in two versions)--and writing songs like "The Day She Lost Her Pastels Badge" that namecheck the band's biggest influences, Talulah Gosh's theme was the everyday life of pop-obsessed indie kids in late-'80s England. Young--drummer Mathew Fletcher was 16 and his singing sister Amelia wasn't much older--and sometimes only barely competent, Talulah Gosh had an unaffected, shambolic charm and an innate sense of how and why good pop worked which makes this unpolished music sound better than almost all of the era's chart hits.
