Our Take

Twisted Dream Machine: The Paisley Underground is a sonic trip down memory lane, filled with nostalgia, psychedelic vibes, and enough hair gel to make even the most committed rockabilly enthusiast jealous. Various Artists have curated a collection of tracks that perfectly encapsulate the spirit of the 80s alternative music scene, complete with jangly guitars, dreamy vocals, and enough reverb to make Kevin Shields weep with envy. From the shimmering melodies of The Bangles to the fuzzy goodness of The Dream Syndicate, this album is a treasure trove of hidden gems that will have you dusting off your old paisley shirts and pining for the days of underground gigs in smokey basements. Each track is a testament to the DIY ethos that defined the Paisley Underground movement, with its emphasis on creativity, experimentation, and just a hint of pretentiousness. Sure, some tracks may come off as a bit self-indulgent, with their overly intricate arrangements and cryptic lyrics about existential crises and broken hearts. But isn't that what we love about 80s indie music? The earnestness, the sincerity, the sheer audacity to put out a 12-minute shoegaze epic that sounds like it was recorded in a damp garage on a four-track recorder. So grab your nearest pair of oversized sunglasses, cue up Twisted Dream Machine, and prepare to be transported to a time when flangers were in fashion and paisley was more than just a pattern on a shirt. This album may be a blast from the past, but it's a damn good one.
