Up To Our Hips - The Chalatans (1994)
This is the long tail of the northern England acid house scene in the late 80s, running into the rising global wave of alt rock. Hadn’t thought about it before, but is alt rock just the musical version of globalization and global free trade and all that? and does that make britpop brexit in this scenario? huh.
It’s not essential but it’s a good listen.
Tracks I Liked
I Never Want An Easy Life - seems like it was probably a single. Should’ve been, if it wasn’t
Jesus Hairdo - soulful britpop that would have benefitted greatly from Oasis never having gotten noticed.
