Antiseptic Beauty - Rising EP

 

 

ANTISEPTIC BEAUTY

Rising EP

1993 A Turntable Friend

 

Notes :

Antiseptic Beauty formed in Derby in Autumn 1989 (originally as a 5-piece jangle band called Evergreen). Clearly, they were influenced by Felt, and by much of the 'C86' sound. There was a small Derby 'scene' developing at that time (including bands like White Town, and later, the Beekeepers). As time went on, their sound became a bit harder, more psychedelic and fuzzier.

They released one single ''Rising EP'' in 1993 that was produced by Stephen Lawrie from The Telescopes.

The Montgomery Clifts - Deadwood Chronicles

THE MONTGOMERY CLIFTS
Deadwood Chronicles
1990 Native Records

Notes :
One of the best albums i've heard this year is ''Deadwood Chronicles'', amazing indie pop album released in 1990 on Native Records by obscure and unknown UK band for me called The Montgomery Clifts.
This band released only one album and two cassette demo tapes, no 7'' or 12'' singles, i don't know why, album is full of great songs.
I've tried to find more info about The Montgomery Clifts, here is what i found on great Last.FM page :
''Formed in the short, damp summer of 1986, The Montgomery Clifts (Andy Bevan, Jeremy Purches, Myles Crampton and Dave Burbidge) decided that the only way to hear decent pop music was to write it themselves.

Thus, armed with a pocketful of pop gems, they made their shambolic debut in downtown Bristol, resurfacing at 6am on a winters morning at an open-air free festival in Cornwall, collecting and discarding various horn sections, string sections, backing vocalists and cellists, before picking up Bill Bell on a free transfer from the Blue Aeroplanes and heading for London (via Hull!). A charismatic demo tape and a string of live dates resulted in Capitol Radio play and Native Records stealing the band from under the proverbial noses of the major labels.
The resulting album, Deadwood Chronicles, was recorded in London with Creation in-house producer Ian Shaw and released on Native Records in 1990.
The line up was:
Andy Bevan - Vocals, guitar
Jeremy Purches - Guitar
Myles (“Bill”) Crampton - Bass
Dave Burbidge - Drums
Bill Bell - Mandolin, fiddle, percussion, harmonica & backing vocals ''

Founded in the mid-nineties, Swoon was one of the first Swedish bands to once again bring up the sounds of the British shoegaze scene of 1989-1992. As other bands turned to britpop for inspiration, Swoon took on the sounds of My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Chapterhouse and modeled them into new forms.
They self-released their debut cassette single ''Goodsign EP'' in 1997, followed by two other singles released by the band: ''Slipstream EP'' in 2001 and ''Encore EP'' in 2003.
First official record ''Jetglo EP'' was released in 2005 for Kitty Litter Records, followed by ''Everlast EP'' in 2006 for same label.

Tracks taken from highly expensive recording sessions in Barbados with producers Chris Frantz & Tina Weymouth, members of Talking Heads & Tom Tom Club.
There is a story that Shaun Ryder kidnapped recording tapes and held them for ransom until Tony Wilson sent more money over so both he and Bez could buy more crack. All they received at Factory Records were these tapes that features only instrumental tracks.
