The Vaccines - English Graffiti (2015)
Never heard of The Vaccines until I picked this chunk of vinyl up from The Warehouse many moons ago for 10 bucks.

commentsStunning debut from the kings of goth! Opening with the incomparible “Double Dare”, which I first experienced as a 20 year old, it absolutely jolted me to the core!
commentsOne of the more uplifting RHP records. While it’s really just another Mark Kozelek solo project, it sounds like a proper band.
commentsWhen you add the calibre of Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois to proceedings you just know it’s special. This instrumental album, showcasing some very impressive processed guitar playing and harmonics, borrows from a myriad of influences.
commentsThe wonderful sound of new wave/no wave imploding! Bands like Ride, My Bloody Valentine, Spiritualized and Bang Bang Machine (maybe not!
commentsOne of my most favourite recordings from the mid-80s, this Dutch group made all the right noises. It was electronic, it was goth, it was moody.
commentsI’m not sure why these dudes get compared to Sonic Youth? I’m a big fan of Thurston, Kim and the boys and really struggle with that concept.
commentsIllness does funny things to your ears! Tonight is the first time I have felt like listening to any form of music in nearly 10 days.
commentsThe themes were: Three Piece, Four Piece, Five Piece
commentsA very short lived but brilliant interim project from The Pixies’ and Breeders’ Kim Deal. I always thought that the Pixies and Breeders were misplaced on the 4AD label.
