The Chairs were a band who seemed to actually want to remain obscure. Between 1987 and 1990 they produced a handful of jangle pop singles on a variety of independent labels, often with little more than a local circulation. As a result, their singles became something of collectors items among jangle pop aficionados.
" The Likes of You" was probably the standout track by the band. Dominated by the Hammond organ, the song bristles with clever lyrics and catchy pop hooks. This even made NME single of the week back in the days when the NME was a reasonably respectable newspaper, but the Chairs were, it seemed, doomed to obscurity.
Rating: 7/10
