'Summer's gone. Summer's pver...'
A wonderful record and one which in some ways stands pretty much alone in the Rock & Roll canon though of course it has significant precedents and antecedents . Patti Smith, Hole, Riot Girl and Sleater Kinney come to mind.
If Sylvia Path had made an album it would sound like this. An album by terms gentle, sensitive, furious, unhinged. Always deeply colouful. I bought and listened to this when it came out, at a time when I was young and not very well. Like the best art it was a consolation. A solace. And something I learned from to move forwards.
Beautiful, Bruce, what an album! Seemed to come out of nowhere and change everything for me. Some things find you when you need them.
ReplyDeleteIt's a fantastic record isn't it Darren, So actually is that Head Portals record. I'll listen to that now and review.Thanks again
