Peggy Suicide was the first marking and mapping out of a new Julian Cope, says Richard Foster; one who kept us sane and questing for new ideas at the dawn of the 90s
You could argue that the opening notes of Julian Cope’s double album,
Peggy Suicide, can be heard on the last few pages of his ever-entertaining autobiography,
Head On/ Repossessed. The book chronicles the rise and fall of his band, The Teardrop Explodes and the often painful road towards chart success as a solo artist in the mid-to-late 1980s. On the very last pages, whilst documenting a private memorial ceremony in Tamworth on New Year’s Eve 1989 in honour of his late friend, Echo And The Bunnymen’s totemic drummer Pete de Freitas, Cope writes of experiencing a vision in the form of “a current of truthful gas”.
Power Pop Plus: New Release Roundup
The latest discs from the Legal Matters, John Dunbar and more
Author:
As the title would suggest, this is the third full-length offering from Michigan popsters the Legal Matters, whose membership rolls include Keith Klingensmith, Chris Richards, and Andy Reed. All three sing their pristine signature harmonies pervade nearly all of the dozen tunes and Richards and Reed each composed six songs. It s their strongest release to date, with a slap of sunshine right out of the gate with Light Up the Sky, a
Pet Sounds-worthy ballad in Passing Chord, and what might be their best-ever track, The Painter, which sounds like some sort of otherworldly cross between a primo Wings ballad and a Plastic Ono Band number. Other numbers showcase a lyrical depth that is most welcomed, little daubs of synthesizer here and there, and, of course, some of the silkiest harmonies in the indie-pop biz. Don t miss the plaintively lovely You Sure Can t Blame Her and
