Almost Here is the striking debut from Oxford trio Unbelievable Truth, released in 1998 on Virgin Records. Formed by vocalist and guitarist Andy Yorke, bassist Jason Moulster and drummer Nigel Powell, the band crafted an album that stood apart from the late-Britpop rush with a sound that was intimate, melodic and emotionally direct.Songs such as "Solved," "Higher Than Reason" and "Angel" showcase Yorke's plaintive vocal delivery and the band's gift for dynamic build-ups, moving from hushed reflection to soaring climaxes without losing their understated core.
Critically noted for its cohesion and lyrical sincerity, Almost Here established Unbelievable Truth as a thoughtful counterpoint to the era's louder guitar bands. It remains a focused, atmospheric debut that rewards close listening and highlights a band confident in mood, melody and craft.
This deluxe re-issue faithfully replicates the original UK pressing, adds an extra LP of B-Sides and is packaged in a bespoke gatefold sleeve and pressed on 180g vinyl.
