About this album

Reading, Writing And Arithmetic is The Sundays’ standout debut, a bright and bittersweet blend of indie rock and alternative pop that made Harriet Wheeler’s voice instantly distinctive. Released in 1990, it paired chiming guitars with sharp melodic writing and an emotional directness that set the band apart from their noisier contemporaries. Here’s Where The Story Ends became their best-known song, helping the album reach a wider audience and securing its place as one of the era’s most admired British indie releases. Its combination of melancholy, clarity and understated hooks has kept it highly regarded ever since.
