Midsummer, maybe, reminds you of a song or an album. We all have our memory triggers, and often they correlate with a change in the weather, the turn of a season.<\/p>\n<p>Here it\u2019s the month of March, and for me that takes me back to 1986, when a strange band out of Scotland called the Jesus and Mary Chain was making a splash in the indie music scene. Their debut album, <em>Psychocandy<\/em>, had come out the previous fall, landing on my turntable four months later, after I\u2019d developed a liking for the song \u201cNever Understand,\u201d which had gotten some radio play.<\/p>\n<p>Once I started listening, I couldn\u2019t stop. Over and over and over. The needle of my old JVC turntable must\u2019ve gone incandescent from the friction.  <\/p>\n<p>I remember a lot of rain that month, and the grayness was a nice accompaniment to the album\u2019s mood. Not maudlin, exactly, but <em>heavy,<\/em> and maybe a little creepy. Which is interesting, because, at heart, when you push past all the feedback and fuzz, this is the poppiest damn album in the world.  <\/p>\n<p>Stripped down, we hear a collection of kindergarten melodies that on their own would be tough to take seriously. The album\u2019s conceit, it\u2019s trick, is to crank the volume and soak them in waves of distortion. Cast the whole thing in a dressed-in-black, art school gloominess, and now the whole enterprise becomes <em>cool<\/em> \u2014 a masterpiece, even, of pop-Gothic-psychedelia.  <\/p>\n<p>This was an underground album, back when there were such things, but it had some mainstream bleed-over. Maybe you caught the kickoff track, \u201dJust Like Honey,\u201d playing along with the closing credits of Sofia Coppola\u2019s film, \u201cLost in Translation.\u201d A great song, but better is the exuberant spookiness of \u201cThe Hardest Walk.\u201d Or the creepy melancholia of \u201cCut Dead.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Or, without a doubt the most astonishing song on the album, \u201cYou Trip Me Up,\u201d a sort of haunted love poem sneaking out beneath a shrieking squall of feedback. <\/p>\n<p>You may have heard the comparisons. \u201cThe Beach Boys on acid\u201d or \u201cThe Velvet Underground meets Metallica.\u201d And so on. Such descriptions are facile and one-dimensional. They\u2019re also spot on, and only fair: this is a facile and one-dimensional album. In the greatest possible way.  <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing complex here, and in a lot of ways <em>Psychocandy<\/em> plays like one long song. It\u2019s pretentious and gimmicky, sure. And supremely addictive. This is the ultimate guilty pleasure album, and I\u2019ve probably listened to it more times than any other record in my collection.    <\/p>\n<p>Just enjoy it for what it is. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Related Stories:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/askthepilot.com\/zen-arcade\/\">ZEN ARCADE AT 40. <\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.askthepilot.com\/new-day-rising\/\">NEW DAY RISING AT 40.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March 6, 2025 MANY OF US associate the time of year with music from our pasts.
