Something Pretty Beautiful were a band put together by Julian Copes brother Joss, and in an utterly expected fashion failed to scale the career highs of everyones favourite mic stand clamberer. They were snapped up fairly quickly by Alan MacGee and signed to Creation Records, who put out their debut EP "Freefall" in October 1989 to some critical interest but not a great deal of sales action. The second EP "Freak Outburst" was scheduled for an April 1990 release, but amidst Creations financial turmoil somehow didnt actually materialise, the label instead opting to cobble the tracks intended for that issue together with the songs from "Freefall" to create this mini-LP.\nIts actually a refreshing listen, taking a hard edged indie guitar sound and marrying it with buoyant, summery, Byrdsian melodies. "Expect A Miracle" in particular showcases the bands ability to create sharp, breezy and compelling pop songs with polite English vocals. Not entirely unlike The Doctors Children (who we examined some time ago) Something Pretty Beautiful seemed to occupy a space favoured by the numerous psych-influenced independent guitar bands who littered the eighties, and perhaps their sound seemed rather stripped back and lo-fi against the bolder, funkier statements being made by bands such as The Stone Roses at the time. Listening to them now in 2012, though, its noticeable how invigorating their sound could be.\nJoss Cope is still involved in music, playing for Dexter Bentley and also sessioning for various other small, underground acts. The fact that he has occasionally played keyboards for his brother Julian on some sessions also cannot be ignored.
