recorded right around Automatic for the People by the same engineer, John Keane, who also worked on classics by Hugo Largo and Vic Chesnutt.

#cdfriday forgotten but great Nikki record which features most of REM (except Stipe) the 1st track could almost be β€œDon’t Go Back to Rockville”

this was the track i enjoyed the most in the Britpop-era. good memory of stoned dancing in a friend's messy apartment hitting repeat on the cd boombox, smell of bad red wine spilled and cat litter www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-7V...

i feel like every $10K indie album I hear sounds exactly like all the others, might as well do it yourself and get it wrong.

I figured but was just checking! like for $6K you could outfit yourself with a fairly professional recording set-up where you could make 1000 albums.

PREORDER: 'Acknowledge Kindness' by The Reds, Pinks and Purples

One of the most introspective, hushed, and dream pop-leaning works from Glenn Donaldson to date, with further influences from slowcore, The Cure, solo Brian Eno, and Felt.

β€œHeaven of Love” sways through headphones like a melancholy friend. The song’s sighs of unrequited anguish are lost and found in the sonic surf that Glenn sets up behind them. It finds Donaldson exploring darker emotional territory amid inky, aqueous textures. bit.ly/3ZP5r9e
