BEVIS FROND, THE - It Just Is (CD)

CD Digisleeve +booklet. Released in 1993 ,It Just Is" was dedicated to one of Nick Saloman's favourite guitarists Ollie Halsall, this beautifully poignant album is stripped back similarly to the earlier Bevis Frond releases with Nick going solo. Playing everything on the record, the hard hitting ,Desperate", ,What's It All About" and ,Can't Stop Lying" are notably more downbeat whilst the psych pop of ,Dreamboat Sinking" and ,Day One"'s lyrics make "this album for the dedicated Frond obsessive more than anyone else" (Allmusic).
