Our Take

Ah, the glorious return of the Madchester legends, Inspiral Carpets, with their album "The Beast Inside" on double purple vinyl. This is the kind of album that makes you want to do the twist in your living room whilst wearing your best acid wash jeans.

From the moment you drop the needle on this bad boy, you're transported back to the heyday of the 90s indie scene, where baggy was in and everyone looked like they hadn't slept in days. The opening track, "Caravan," sets the tone with its jangly guitars and catchy hooks that will have you singing along in no time.

But don't be fooled by the nostalgia factor, because Inspiral Carpets are here to prove that they've still got it. Tracks like "Please Be Cruel" and "Born Yesterday" showcase their ability to write timeless melodies that will have you bopping your head for days on end.

And let's not forget about Tom Hingley's distinctive vocals, which soar over the band's jangly guitars and funky basslines like a bird in flight. This man's voice could make even the most hardened cynic shed a tear.

Overall, "The Beast Inside" is a triumph for Inspiral Carpets, proving that they are still one of the most exciting bands to come out of the UK indie scene. So grab your best pair of flared trousers and get ready to twist the night away with this stellar album.

About the artist

Inspiral Carpets

Ah, the Manchester music scene of the late 80s and early 90s. A hotbed of creativity, innovation, and some seriously baggy fashion choices. And right at the heart of it all were the enigmatic lads from Inspiral Carpets. Formed in 1983, Inspiral Carpets burst onto the scene with their unique blend of psychedelic rock, punk attitude, and enough organ sounds to make even The Doors jealous. With frontman Stephen Holt's distinctive vocals leading the charge, the band quickly established themselves as one of the key players in the burgeoning Madchester movement. Their debut album, "Life", was a chaotic whirlwind of catchy hooks, swirling organs, and driving rhythms that captivated audiences and critics alike. And let's not forget their iconic track "This Is How It Feels", with its unforgettable chorus that still sends shivers down the spine to this day. But perhaps what truly set Inspiral Carpets apart was their electrifying live shows. With their explosive energy, infectious enthusiasm, and psychedelic visuals, a Carpets gig was an experience like no other. And let's not forget their curious choice of attire - who else could pull off wearing flares and bucket hats with such panache? Despite lineup changes and the ever-shifting landscape of the music industry, Inspiral Carpets have remained a beloved institution in British music. Their legacy lives on in the hearts of fans old and new, a testament to the enduring power of their music and the indomitable spirit of Madchester. Long live the Carpets!
