Underwater Moonlight

by The Soft Boys

supported by

honsieurmerr This album is like aural heroin. I was sold on it from the jump. However-many minutes of exquisite psych-pop heaven.

Levrikon The stone-cold masterpiece, reissued with 31 bonus tracks. Think Syd-era Floyd if they survived into the early '80s. This is an amazing bounty for only $10, pick it up! Favorite track: Kingdom of Love.

about

Swarming hymns of 2nd generation psychedelic pop mastery, The Soft Boys' two most influential and groundbreaking albums are finally back in print via Yep Roc Records. Main man Robyn Hitchcock, along with demon guitarist Kimberley Rew, bassist Matthew Seligman and drummer Morris Windsor manage to bottle '60s guitar pop, shake it up with caged teenage fury and cut it all with a healthy dose of lyrical levity. A Can of Bees and Underwater Moonlight -- seen as fatally un-hip when originally released -- would go on to be seen as seminal albums and become catalysts for '80s jangle pop and college rock, directly inspiring band's like R.E.M. and The Flaming Lips. The extensive bonus tracks available with this reissue are available digitally and are not included on the physical CD or LP.
