TWISTED DREAM MACHINE - The Paisley Underground / California's Psychedelic Renaissance: 1982-1986: Electric Balloon Double Vinyl LP

Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: Futurismo
Release Date: 13th September

Twisted Dream Machine pulls together the hypertechnicolour jangly psychedelic pop from the early 80s, tagged as the 'Paisley Underground' a love letter to The Byrds, the Beatles, to garage rock, to proto Goth and sounding like all those great 60s beat groups if they were also dead good at Frogger and Pac-Man. 

For those dig: a Californian's naive romance for rainy old England, bright sparkly jangle pop, the creep of New Wave but with a coy shyness and perfect power pop.

“Twisted Dream Machine takes you on a trip from the city to the desert, as the kaleidoscope of noise drifts from the The Dream Syndicate’s Velvet Underground inspired take on Crazy Horse and The Three O’Clock’s chiming baroque powerpop, to Rain Parade’s dreamy Beatlesesque melodies and the Bangles hook-laden Love inspired pop. ”
