Probably the most enduring feature of this song and the album that it is from, is that Josephine Wiggs was the bass player for this band. She, of course, went on to join The Breeders....
Some more 90s, Australian power pop for you. This was from the bandโs debut LP, Less Is More. Since then, multiple albums have channeled The Kinks, Bowie, The Who and more....
With this track, I am giving you the gift of one of my most favourite, melodic, 60s inspired, power pop songs. Itโs on a par with the best of the likes of Matthew Sweet IMO....
Spirea X were formed by Jim Beattie who had left Primal Scream, having founded the band with Bobby Gillespie, after their first album. This band tapped into a certain part of the British musical zeitgeist with elements of stuff like Jesus and Mary Chain, Stone Roses, Ride and perhaps Cocteau Twins....
I didnโt pay a lot of attention to Spirea X, so I donโt exactly know the answer to your question. Judith is credited on Discogs as on vocals only and in a MVs you can find on the internet, she doesnโt see to be pictured as playing an instrument. I did spot a glimpse of her playing an acoustic guitar in some gig footage, when I went look for it, just now.
I havenโt listened to these Texan shoegaze revivalists before. From what I hear they roam freely around the genre, with elements of MBV, Swervedriver and so on in there. Perhaps with some US shoegaze mixed in too....
This track is from Jonas Melker Alexander Jonsson, from รstersund in Sweden, who goes by the moniker Bedroom Eyes. Apparently he was all over the music blogosphere at the time this track came out on an EP called Hand-In-Hand Grenade. Later it appeared on the 2010 album Long Wait Champion....
I love these guys when Iโm in the mood for something heavier. This is from their album Land of Sleeper released way back at the beginning of the year.
Itโs almost the perfect site for a music festival and impeccably organised. The single thing I dislike about it is that there isnโt an area that has car-free camping. I always take the bus there and it would be so much better not to have all the motor vehicles mixed in with the tents.
I just caught up with this band. This really is some track. Builds into a great crescendo. they are coming to Australia in March, I shall have to try and see them play.
