065 Yazoo - Upstairs at Eric's (1982)

Boogie Chitz ·

2024/11/20

A neck-to-nuts banger of a synth album found in a genre mostly celebrated via individual songs and videos rather than LPs. Upstairs at Eric's contains by my count three 'oh yeah I know that song' songs that are probably recognizable to the greater American public.

Boogie Chitz ·

2024/10/30

Los Angeles 1983. While the hair hunx were leaving leather pant ass prints on the hoods of laundromat dryers, bands of the Paisley Underground scene were quietly cranking out sixties-style jingly-jangly psychedelia across town. The Rain Parade were the shortest-lived of all the P.U. bands, but their debut album Emergency Third Rail Power Trip helped garden just as much musical fruit of the future as it did pay tribute to the past.

Boogie Chitz ·

Boogie Chitz ·

The slightly off-kilter art punk of The Sugarcubes was the first rock music from Iceland to gain ears in America. The band's debut album - Life's Too Good - is a bouncy masterwork and the world's introduction to Bjork - who by the way, is the SECOND weirdest singer in this band.

Trouble funk is here.
