NotesFire Records are proud to release this comprehensive collection of one of the label's flagship bands from the early years. Taking it's name; "Firestation Tower", from the track that gained them world-wide recognition when the song featured on NME's influential C-86 compilation; the set brings together their LPs "Foxheads Stalk This Land", "Headache Rhetoric", and "Forever, Until Victory! The Singles Collection". As one of Fire's earliest signings, Close Lobsters stormed up the indie charts with their unique melodic jangle pop and skewed world-view. Their debut "Going To Heaven To See If It Rains" announced the band with a top ten bang, and they never looked back. Burning briefly, but oh so brightly, the band would continue to be sighted as an influence for decades to come.
