Our Take
Adding a bit of pep to your indie record collection, Galaxie 500's "On Fire/Peel Sessions" is a delightful blend of dreamy melodies and fuzzy guitars that will transport you straight to the 90s alternative rock scene. Kicking off with the hauntingly ethereal track "Blue Thunder," the album sets the tone for a laid-back, introspective journey through the band's signature sound. Dean Wareham's velvety vocals glide effortlessly over the shimmering guitar riffs, creating a mesmerising sonic landscape that is both meditative and captivating. Tracks like "Strange" and "Victory Garden" showcase the band's knack for crafting catchy hooks with a touch of melancholy, while "Another Day" and "Ceremony" offer a glimpse into their unique interpretation of classic covers. The Peel Sessions on the album are a delightful bonus, showing off Galaxie 500's raw talent and infectious energy in a live setting. From the jangly guitars to the dreamy atmospherics, each track is a testament to the band's ability to create music that is both nostalgic and timeless. Overall, "On Fire/Peel Sessions" is a must-have for any fan of indie rock, offering a perfect blend of introspection and groove that will leave you coming back for more. So grab your favourite flannel shirt, put on your headphones, and get ready to be swept away by the mesmerising sounds of Galaxie 500. Cheers!

About the artist

Galaxie 500

Galaxie 500 may have been one of the most effortlessly cool bands to come out of the American indie scene in the late 80s. Formed in Boston in 1987, the trio consisted of vocalist/guitarist Dean Wareham, bassist Naomi Yang, and drummer Damon Krukowski. Despite their short-lived career, Galaxie 500 left a lasting impact on the dream pop genre, influencing a wave of bands that would follow in their hazy, atmospheric footsteps. With their blend of melancholic melodies, hypnotic guitar riffs, and gently murmured vocals, Galaxie 500 crafted a sound that was both ethereal and emotionally resonant. It's no wonder that their music has been described as the sonic equivalent of floating on a cloud of nostalgia. The band's debut album, "Today," released in 1988, immediately established them as darlings of the underground music scene. Tracks like "Tugboat" and "Oblivious" showcased their signature dreamy sound, drawing in listeners with their understated beauty and introspective lyrics. Galaxie 500's sophomore effort, "On Fire," continued to captivate audiences with its dreamy sonic landscapes and hauntingly beautiful songs. Standout tracks like "Blue Thunder" and "Strange" cemented their reputation as masters of mood and atmosphere. By the time they released their final album, "This Is Our Music," in 1990, Galaxie 500 had already established themselves as a cult favourite. While their time together may have been short, their legacy lives on in the hearts of fans and musicians alike. Galaxie 500 may have burned out quickly, but their music continues to shine brightly, casting a dreamy glow over the indie music landscape.
