One of my favourite albums
Amazing to think that David Gavurin and Harriet Wheeler just disappeared after their third album. Would have liked more from them.
Reading, Writing and Arithmetic

Re: Reading, Writing and Arithmetic
The title of their debut album was based on wordplay, seeing as they were from Reading. It’s also one of the finest debut albums ever, certainly in my top 3, alongside Bloc Party’s Silent Alarm and Mumm-Ra’s These Things Move In Threes.
Can’t Be Sure is the most perfect song ever written, and was played at my wedding and is down to be played at my funeral. Incredibly I never managed to see The Sundays play live - I wa always busy, and assumed I’d get the chance to see them at some point. I was wrong, and have had to live with that for some 30 years. I’m also still quietly in love with Harriet Wheeler.
