Spacemen 3 - RecurringThe fourth and final Spacemen 3 studio album Recurring; the follow up to their seminal Playing with Fire album. By the time the album was recorded, relations between the band had soured to the extent that the record is essentially in two parts; the first seven tracks written and performed by Sonic Boom a. k. a. Peter Kember (Spectrum E. A. R.), and the last seven tracks written and performed by Jason Pierce (Spiritualized) punctuated by the cover

relentlessly releasing a fractured

A vibe-synchronous soul-unit travelling the planet

then a little more for the band

Mainly exploring internal and mental struggles as opposed to external current affairs

With Uncle Tupelo’s popularity on the rise

especially in I Only Lie When I Love You which is a compelling cowbell-assisted reminder of the power of a stop-start riff and a strident chorus

a pioneering project integrating music into psychedelic therapy

and a melancholy drifts throughout

psych duo The Wands are the aural sound of an acid trip at the blissed-out point when your arms appear to be made of rainbows

When we put some feelings into a music expression – that’s liberation

The band thrive in rendering fresh wisdom and insight from old models

It’s important to note that Born Stupid will be the first release on the newly relaunched incarnation of Shimmy-Disc
