Best of Milltown Brothers

-Best known for the shimmering piece of early-`90s modern pop "Which Way Should I Jump?" (the 1991 single was a top 40 hit in Britain and 120 Minutes/college radio mainstay stateside), the Milltown Brothers earned a healthy dose of critical applause in their early days. NME tabbed the Lancashire five-piece a band to watch in 1990, while Q gave their debut, SLINKY, the much sought-after five-star seal of approval the following year. Unfortunately (and almost criminally), like so many other picked-to-click bands of the era, the Milltown Brothers were swiftly forgotten by the notoriously fickle British music cognoscenti. The BEST OF takes an interesting tack, acknowledging the one-album wonder of the band by including its entire debut along with assorted later singles, making the record something of an expanded version of 1991's SLINKY.
