Almost Here

Description

Almost Here, the striking debut album from Oxford trio Unbelievable Truth, released in 1998 on Virgin Records, is reissued. Formed by singer and guitarist Andy Yorke, bassist Jason Moulster, and drummer Nigel Powell, the band created an album that stands out from the late 20th-century Britpop wave with an intimate, melodic sound and great sincerity. Tracks like "Solved", "Higher Than Reason", and "Angel" showcase Yorke's plaintive voice and the band's talent for dynamic builds, shifting from hushed introspection to exhilarating peaks without ever losing their core essence. Praised by critics for its coherence and the sincerity of its lyrics, Almost Here established Unbelievable Truth as a thoughtful alternative to the louder guitar bands of the era. This debut album, both controlled and atmospheric, reveals itself upon careful listening and highlights a band confident in its art, its melodies, and its craftsmanship.
