The
Jesus and Mary Chain's debut album (1985), the true birth of
shoegazing. Shades of
proto-punk,
Beach Boys pop, and just plain
noise combine here, but it winds up being something completely
new.
Psychocandy sounds like it was recorded on an
Edison cylinder and mauled by a
cat. Yet there is
genius in the feedback - trust me. And without this album, I wonder where the likes of
My Bloody Valentine and
Dinosaur Jr. would be.
"I'm... sowing seeds..." Indeed.
Your roommate will hate this album. Good. Oh, and check out a pre-Primal Scream Bobby Gillespie on drums.
