Is High a good place to start with Lighthouse Family?

Yes, High is recommended as a starting point for new Lighthouse Family listeners. Uplifting melodies entwined with smooth, soulful vocals create a serene soundscape that captures the essence of 90s Britpop. Lighthouse Family's debut album, 'Ocean Drive', had been released just a year prior in 1996, establishing them as a notable act in the UK pop scene. By the time 'High' was released in October 1997, they were riding the wave of their initial success, aiming to solidify their presence in the music industry with this follow-up project.
