Inspired by early Creation Records releases, Television Personalities and Mod culture, with heroes like Dexys, The Style Council, Vic Godard, but also The Byrds and The Velvet Underground, Comet Gain have always had the good taste to highlight their emotional ties to very diverse scenes. They produce music that evokes both Riot Grrrls and the C86 generation. This is the recipe for the band, who are celebrating 20 years of "anti-career". Paperback Ghosts is their seventh album, and maintains the delicate course that is Comet Gain's strength.
