Formed in Oxford in 1986, Talulah Gosh were rock’s Brains Trust, vocalists Elizabeth Price and Amelia Fletcher going on to win the Turner Prize and helm the Office of Fair Trading respectively.
The group reversed the mid-eighties malaise by retreating into a polka-dot sugar-punk Shangri-la, establishing the enduring global indie-pop template.
Here’s everything they ever did, including demos and sessions, from the bracing Ronettes/Ramones hybrid of Bringing Up Baby to the knee-trembling dream-pop of their signature song, Talulah Gosh.
