The Smiths never reached the level of raw emotion on display here, but some of the touchstones are the same. I rushed out to buy the “Lost in the Plot” single, and was stunned by the incredible power of it. That set buoyed them to a licensing deal with the Scottish record label Bella Union, run by former Cocteau Twins bassist Simon Raymonde. My love for them came relatively late, in 2004, after hearing of them because of the tidal wave of hype they generated with a now-legendary set at the 2004 SXSW Festival.
