Mercury Rev - Carwash Hair (Mint Films, 1991)

Mercury Rev, Carwash Hair, Yerself Is Steam, Indie, 1991, Space Rock, Mercury Rev mp3
Expansive, lethargic, heavy-lidded spaced out indie rock masterpiece.

At their inception, Mercury Rev were more about the opiated, space rock symphonies than the backwoods euphorica of later albums like 'All Is Dream'.

With waves of guitar, flute and casual, dazed repetition, 'Carwash Hair' is like scruffier version of Spiritualized, building to the same peaks of intensity but creating a soundfield cluttered by random noises and dirty socks.

    It was a close thing between this and 'Chasing A Bee'...
