Highly sought-after reissue of The Autocollant's long out-of-print CD "Why Couldn't Things Just Stay the Same?"

The album 'Why Couldn't Things Just Stay the Same?' by The Autocollants is a compilation of their greatest hits, released after the band's initial disbandment. It features tracks from their indie pop releases on labels Drive-In, Tinseltones, and Shelflife. The album includes a mix of previously released material including stand-out new tracks: 'We Can't Have it All,' 'Nothing At All,' and 'Beyond the Reef'. The music is characterized by relaxed, dreamy indie pop with bittersweet lyrics, often focused on simple themes. Laura Watling's vocals are a prominent feature, and the instrumentation includes guitar, bass, drums, synthesizers, trumpets, tambourine, and keyboards.
