Originally released by Half A Cow Records in 1995

The band's expanded vision became a little clearer on the stunning "Leave Me Like This" LP (recorded in Autumn of 1995 and released in February 1996) which, while based in guitars & drums, showed a leaning towards hip hop, groove & all things funky. The album was also released in the US on New York-based Dirt Records. Three singles were released from the album "Wikky's Ode", "Give Me Time" and "The Pseudo Blues".

Opening the album, "The Pseudo Blues" was inspired by Billie Holiday and other greats, while the record's second single, "Give Me Time", written by Tania, comes from a similar period. "That reminds me more of old songs from the '40s and '50s," says Kim. "Tania especially is interested in looking back. People are saying retro is from the '80s and '70s, but I've been inspired by old blues and stuff like that. It's starting to come out more. Punk rock's great because it makes you really jump. But the blues is good because you can feel it. We mix the two together."

These roots are matched by the album's upbeat moments, including tunes like the happy/sad ditty "Jack", the chop change of "Gun" and the sweepingly beautiful "You Made Me". Other highlights include the raucous "Salt To Pain" and "Blue Angel", featuring Liz's angelic, childlike vocals.
