At the time of Psychocandy’s release, “shoegaze” was an obscure, or even non-existent, genre to any serious music fan at that time. However, seven years after Psychocandy’s release, My Bloody Valentine released the legendary mind***k that is Loveless. Despite its simplicity, every indie rock artist who took notice of Loveless, were perplexed by its wall-of-sound landscape has since been unanimously embraced and endlessly imitated for many years to come.
Where there’s album release anniversary, there must be a tribute album and neither record disappoints – Isn’t Anything was covered in its entirety by both Korean and Japanese artists (including Boris and Shonen Knife), while Psychocandy got new age treatment via Brazilia’s The Blog That Celebrates Itself.
