Unbelievable Truth – Almost Here (1998)

As the younger brother of Radiohead's enigmatic leader, Andy Yorke was bound to gain attention as the frontman of the Unbelievable Truth. However, the group's debut album, Almost Here, may have earned attention in its own right, if released without any hype. Almost Here is an alluringly moody record, similar to the epic soundscapes of the Verve or Radiohead, only with a bit of a country-rock underpinning. Yorke's lyrics can seem adolescent and the Unbelievable Truth's ambition often outweighs their accomplishments, but the promise they flaunt on their debut proves that they are almost there.
