The Great Comeback Bands that came back from long

The Great Comeback
Bands that came back from long periods of disappointing albums, breakups, losses and deaths of key members.

I mentioned it further down, but it’s worth noting that six years of inactivity in the 60s-80s was a bigger deal than it is now, when that’s getting to be barely over the average gap between albums for many artists. Imagine if the Beatles took a break from 1965-71, then resumed if it were no big deal. I will acknowledge the obvious that very few of these comebacks ever measured up to the artists at their peak. Has anyone had a second peak greater than their first? It’s been argued, but I don’t think so. Nevertheless, it’s always a relief to fans when an artist releases an album that isn’t complete garbage later in their career.

The Galileo 7 – You, Me, and Reality (Damaged Go

The Galileo 7 – You, Me, and Reality (Damaged Goods)

One of the best 21st century British garage psych bands thankfully have remained busy since their fifth album of originals, There Is Only Now (2019). 2020 was a wash for a lot of bands, but The Galileo 7 served up a platter of comfort food in the form of the massively entertaining covers album, Decayed (2020). Along with the unsurprising but outstanding covers of The Who, Pink Floyd, Michael Nesmith/The Monkees, Paul Revere & the Raiders, they reveal more expansive tastes with a lesser known early Terry Reid song, L.A. power pop (The Nerves), feminist punk (X-Ray Spex) and Liverpool psychedelic post-punk (The Soft Boys, Julian Cope). Then they covered themselves, re-recording songs from Staring at the Sound (2012) on Listening to the Colours EP (2021), because why not, might as well fine tune great songs with even better performances while the band is dialed in. That remains the case with their sixth full-length of fresh originals which keeps up Allan Crockford’s songwriting chops. Not bad for a bloke who served time in the Medway garage scene for over a couple decades before becoming a full-blown bandleader. All four members (Allan, Viv Bonsels, Mole, Paul Moss) contribute vocals, and they really have the harmonies down, sounding effortless. Plenty of bands can attest that’s no easy feat. While the band have roots in psych pop, garage, punk and power pop from the sixties through eighties, don’t be too quick to dismiss them as throwbacks. I check out a vast chunk of new releases and the territory most of the currently fashionable singer-songwriters, folk, pop and country artists occupy is actually much, much older than the rock ‘n’ roll found here. It’s just that most are following current production trends of autotune and click tracks that are difficult to listen to more than a few songs at a time because they’re alienating. Thank the gods/alien overlords for bands like The Galileo 7 to keep me sane.

The School of Post-Punk – Class of ’83 In bet

The School of Post-Punk – Class of ’83

In between Oxford, Cambridge and Hogwarts, there was the mysterious PPU (Post-Punk University) it’s star pupils who matriculated in 1980.

Unfortunately, it seems lesser genre spinoffs like New Romantics (with after school classes held at the Blitz club in Covent Garden in 1979-80) and students who flunked out attended nighttime adult education classes in Goth at the Batcave from 1982-85, got more of the glory, or at least impact in fashion and culture.

Bought my tix. Truckfighters!

I highly recommend this fest. Hell's Heroes is the best festival for heavy metal, and RippleFest Texas has taken over from Psycho Las Vegas as the best stoner/fuzz/desert/psych fest in the U.S. Desertfest in Queens last year had a good lineup, but was indoors. Both stages are outdoors at The Far Out Lounge and Stage, my favorite venue in Austin, and also no overlap in sets.

Anticipated Albums
The release schedule has filled out with some biggies the past couple weeks. I'm curious to hear Still Corners - Dream Talk, which will start streaming at 11 PM CST tonight. Their past couple albums have been a cool mix of dream pop, desert/folk psych noir and ethereal wave. This will be their sixth album.

Really stoked to see albums announced from Shellac, Uncle Acid and Dirty Three. I pre-ordered The Sonic Dawn a month ago!

A few artifacts from the 90s I dug out from the barn. I was originally looking for the 1994 Festival International poster, but also found the original CD longbox for Walt Mink's classic 1992 debut, and also cutouts of Nick Cave gazing longingly at PJ Harvey. That was on my office wall in 1992 -- did I do some vodou and conjure their romance a few years later? They kind of look like they're related in those pics.

Albums That Are 30 Years Old

3. Laika - Silver Apples Of The Moon (Too Pure)
By the time Moonshake released the Big Good Angel EP (1993), the difference between Dave Callahan's songs and Margaret Fiedler's was very distinct. With assistance from engineer Guy Fixsen, Fiedler's "Two Trains", "Girly Loop" and "Flow" were definitely the best half of the EP, where she role plays various aspects of a sexual predator, albeit one that's alluringly, if not slightly creepily, irresistable, her breathy voice up close in your ear, over a dense melange of percussive loops and samples like the Bomb Squad wobbly on cough syrup and John Frenett's dubbed out bass. These provide the template for Fiedler, Frenett and Fixsen's new band, Laika, where they double the density of the sound layers, which can threatend to overwhelm, but make for some endlessly fascinating headphone listening. The album was released five months after Simon Reynolds infamous post-rock piece in The Wire, and would have merited top billing. The Wire critics agreed, with Laika reaching #5 in the year-end poll, while Disco Inferno and Bark Psychosis didn't make the cut. Despite those props, the album has remained under the radar ever since, but deserves to be revisited as the utterly unique, groundbreaking classic that it is. "Marimba Song" and "44 Robbers" are favorites, but the whole album is intoxicating, like being lost in a jungle full of sensory overload of sounds, fragrances and colors. The vibraphone on tracks like "If You Miss" over circular percussive patterns are gently hypnotic, balancing out the more frenetic moments of the album. Variously associated with trip hop, post-rock, downtempo, ambient pop, dream pop and psych, it falls between ALL the cracks, which is precisely why it's essential listening. There was nothing else like it.

16. Chico Science & Nação Zumbi – De Lama Ao Caos
I first heard of Chico Science and Nação Zumbi in 1995 on a music discussion list. I was just launching Fast 'n' Bulbous, and a couple members of Tortoise had provided an intriguing list of music artists the were not strictly influences, but simply their favorite music. The name Chico Science & Nação Zumbi stood out as a name I had never heard of. This is understandable, as their debut album, Da Lama ao Caos (From Mud To Chaos) was just released in 1994, only in Brazil. Brazilian imports were nearly impossible to come by then, and there was zero media coverage in the U.S., outside of more established former tropicálistas like Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil and Tom Zé. Perhaps the folks in Tortoise caught their performance at Central Park’s SummerStage that summer opening up for Gilberto Gil. I was grateful for the tip, as the money spent on the import was well spent. The album was simply explosive, mixing the power of three large bombo bass drums culled from the Afro-Pernambuan maracatu tradition with embolada, raggamuffin, heavy metal, psychedelic rock, punk, funk and hip-hop. This fusion music was far more successful than the clumsy attempts of American bands to fuse rock, funk and rap, though fans of Rage Against Machine should take note. I would have thought they’d become immensely popular here. But the release of their second album, Afrociberdelia (1996) came and went with no acknowledgement here, and by February 1997, Chico Science was dead from a car accident. Just as Joy Division’s future was in doubt after losing Ian Curtis, many wondered if they could make it without their charismatic leader. Check out the rest of their catalog and hear for yourself. #bestalbums1994

20. Solitude Aeturnus - Through the Darkest Hour
Fresh from Hell's Heroes VI last weekend, I still have Solitude Aeturnus' triumphant reunion set ringing in my ears. Formed by John Perez in Dallas in 1987 and inspired by the epic doom metal of Sweden's Candlemass (who also played at the Houston festival last week) and Trouble, Through the Darkest Hour may be the band's finest hour. They recorded their third album at Rhythm Studios, in Warwickshire, England, soaking in the gloomy weather and traditional English pub ale that spawned Black Sabbath. This is my kind of rock 'n' doom, with all six of their albums containing overall better riffs than Candlemass, Trouble, Saint Vitus and Pentagram. #bestalbums1994

Albums That Are 30 Years Old

4. Portishead - Dummy (Go! Beat)
You couldn't ask for a more perfectly timely album for 1994. Beyond drawing from the Bristol based trip hop scene, Portishead also includes Beth Gibbons' intensely dark chanteuse fatale vocal performance (like Sade were she obsessed with Joy Division), some fancy turntablism just starting to get popular via the likes of DJ Shadow, DJ Krush and the Mo Wax label, and forward looking avant garde innovations with dusty sounding samples of spy films, western noir and spectral sounds that would foreshadow hauntology a decade later, popularized on the Ghost Box label. Boards of Canada's downtempo electronic music and Burial's dubstep also reflected Portishead's influence. The only band to top The Wire year-end poll and the pop charts. #bestalbums1994

6. Jeff Buckley - Grace (Columbia)
The best show I saw in 1994 was Jeff Buckley at The Hot House, an intimate venue that mostly featured jazz, folk and world music when it was still in Chicago's Wicker Park. It was a magical July summer night, and while I first learned about him because I was a fan of his father Tim Buckley's work, he appeared to be on his way to becoming a legendary chanteuse in his own right, unafraid to perform audacious covers of his influences that would intimidate lesser talents -- Van Morrison, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, and THE definitive version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." We met him after the show and his charisma from the performance continued to radiate in person so much that when he flirted with my date, I was like, okay, that's a throuple situation I might consider. His sole studio album boils over with confidence and swagger, his classic rock of "Mojo Pin," "The Last Goodbye" and "So Real," adorned with ornate, sensual touches of jazz and otherworldly global music as well as Indian classical scales and melismas on "Dream Brother." He was touring hard and we got to see him three more times over the next year at Uncommon Ground, Metro and the Green Mill. It's one of music's greatest tragedies that he was taken by the Mississippi near Memphis in 1997. #bestalbums1994

7. Pram - Helium (Too Pure)
Unlike Too Pure labelmates PJ Harvey, Moonshake, Laika and Stereolab, Pram never really became known in the U.S. So I'm glad they made an appearance in the 2017 book Fearless: Post-Rock 1987-2001 by Jeanette Leech. Inspired by early The Raincoats and The Slits, their dark, macabre music took a playful approach with unusual instruments, some of them toys. Despite the "carousel-from-hell" motif gone wonky, there is also a warm, friendly tone to their music that's pretty damn delightful. They weren't really a significant influence on post-rock, but it would have benefitted if they were. #bestalbums1994

Albums That Are 30 Years Old

8. The Gits - Enter: The Conquering Chicken
The Seattle music scene in the early 90s had an abundance of tragedy and hype. Somewhat lost between the cracks, the headlines and big names was the fact that the band that created some of the most enduring music was also snuffed out the most brutally. The accidental overdoses of 7 Year Bitch’s Stefanie Sargent (June 27, 1992) and Hole’s Kristen Pfaff (June 16, 1994) and Cobain’s suicide stung, but The Gits’ Mia Zapata was yanked from the world violently and completely against her will, raped and strangled on July 7, 1993. They performed their gritty punk blues outside the spheres of grunge and Riot Grrrl, yet were respected and revered by both scenes. Because when it came down to it, it was all just one fairly small local scene that was marketed with different labels after the fact. The fact that Zapata was such a charismatic and loved singer made no difference to her tragic end, which made the inflated importance of grunge in the media seem inconsequential, and the squabbling over the meaning of Riot Grrrl petty. If anything, Zapata’s murder proved how important Riot Grrrl and all other feminist efforts to put a spotlight on the senseless violence against women that had not really gotten any better in the past millennia. The documentary covers not just her murder and eventual capture of the psychopath, but the first half focuses on the creative process that produced early songs like “Another Shot Of Whiskey,” “While You’re Twisting, I’m Still Breathing,” “Cut My Skin It Makes Me Human,” “Second Skin,” and “Precious Blood.” In any of those songs, Zapata’s vocal talents can stop you in your tracks and inspire goosebumps. Her affinity for the blues approached Janis Joplin levels, while conveying emotional power through melody not unlike Stevie Nicks. She could have also been influenced by Kat Arthur of L.A. punkers Legal Weapon. Their second album was released after Zapata's death, and is somewhat overlooked. But it shows the band at peak powers, and some would argue is better than the debut. Case in point, "Seaweed." #bestalbums1994

Albums That Are 30 Years Old

9. Stereolab - Mars Audiac Quintet (Elektra)
After just one album on Too Pure alongside Th' Faith Healers, Moonshake and Pram, Stereolab quickly connected with a larger audience and moved to Elektra on Transient Random-Noise Bursts With Announcements (1993). While that major label debut best represents their early style at it's giddy, energetic peak, their third album luxuriates in the sounds, like nestling into a cocoon with pleasantly warm analog tubes. I'm glad they did one more album with their original formula, space age pop mixed with Velvet Underground drones and kosmische motorik beats, Laetitia Sadier and Mary Hanson trading deadpan vocals like a friendly rivalry between Nico and Astrud Gilberto. Stereolab would soon move on to toy with various elements of trip hop, indietronica and ambient pop, but this remains a top notch document of their early analog sound. #bestalbums1994
