16 Lovers Lane

16 Lovers Lane (1988) by The Go-Betweens is a polished, melodic blend of indie pop, jangle pop and folk-tinged rock that foregrounds jangly guitars, warm production and literate, romantic songwriting from Robert Forster and Grant McLennan. Amanda Brown's violin and backing vocals add brighter, chamber-pop textures to the arrangements, while the album's accessible songcraft and memorable melodies, including the standout track Streets of Your Town, make it one of the band's most recognized records from the late 1980s.
