Shop Assistants - Shop Assistants


#525 LISTENING POST DISCOVERY
November 1986
Shop Assistants
Shop Assistants
4.25 out of 5

Genre: lo fi manic pixie dream pop

Highlights:
I Don’t Wanna Be Friends with You
All Day Long
Caledonian Road
Seems to Be



In about 18 years from this album one of my favorite low fi groups will come out of the Indie Scene: All Girl Summer Fun Band. They will sound like cub and Donora and, apparently, Shop Assistants. (Later Best Coast will cop this sound as well)
I adore this sound. Bunch of rock and roll girls thrashing on the skins and power chording their way through early life.
