Mousefolk. Heads Full of Hope.

I get the feeling that, if you were a teenager in Britain in the early to mid 80's, you were basically given a band. The government must have been handing out guitars and jangly melodies left and right. There are so many lost groups from that era, it would take another government program to track them all down (although the Messthetics releases have been doing a pretty nice job). Information on Mousefolk seems to be practically nonexistent. I can't even turn up a picture of the album cover. As you might expect, it's great, cardigan-styled pop, but with a lot of frayed edges.
