Singles 1989 - 1992

Brighter’s early singles for Matinée Recordings capture the label’s dream pop aesthetic at its most ethereal, spanning 1989 to 1992 when shoegaze and indie pop were still bleeding into one another. These tracks showcase gossamer vocals and shimmering guitar textures that defined Matinée’s roster during its formative years, when the UK indie scene was obsessed with beauty and texture over bombast. A crucial document of a label that championed melody-driven psychedelia and jangly romanticism.
