PERSIA

Persia is perhaps the more conventional of the two EPs that The Church put out between Seance and Heyday, in that the Remote Luxury EP (which later lent its name to the compilation album that collected the two) was somewhat more eclectic whilst this was squarely within The Church's musical territory. Solid jangle pop stuff, perhaps a little slight compared to their album material, but nonetheless reasonably interesting even if it's a bit forgettable compared to the material on their first few albums (especially Seance or The Blurred Crusade). Inessential, though since the easiest way to get these tracks is on the Remote Luxury compilation, why turn your nose up at it?
