Genre: Psychedelic Pop

Highlights:
O Pamela
With no output from Echo or The Furs there was certainly a psychedelic vacuum in late 85 and that seems to have been filled by The Dream Academy and The Wake, a band I had not heard of until just now.
And while the former seems to have had the pedigree, The Wake wasn’t too far behind. Less unctuous and more honest in their homage to the past psychedelia but also a bit more meandering and jazzy. It’s really sort of amazing how far into it’s own naval this album can crawl by midway through.
Man, get to “Torn Calendar” and tell me Twee didn’t start in the mid-80s.
