Favorite Albums: Psychocandy









The Jesus & Mary Chain- Psychocandy

What's that fuzzy stuff in the background? The future of alternative music. It's pop, but it's anti-pop, with no regard for production whatsoever. It's noisy as all hell, but the melodies are as pure and simple as the beach boys. And of course there's the vibrant reverb of drums, vocals, guitars, and any other piece of sonic chaos that gets thrown in, and then washed away by sweeping waves of feedback. JAMC, like Velvet Underground before them, and My Bloody Valentine after them, re-defined how noise could be used in music. And I think it's f*cking great.

Just Like Honey

Never Understand
