Yet another well loved classic that needs no introduction.
I was aware of J&MC long before I got into them in earnest, be it though songs I heard on the radio as a kid or elsewhere. Some years later, when beginning on my own journeys into creating music, someone recommended this album, owing to the penchant I had for feedback and noise which featured prominently in a lot of my early, lo-fi excursions.
There's not really much to say about this album that hasn't already been said a million times. Throw 50s bubblegum pop, garage rock (by way of Velvet Underground's 'White Light White Heat' of course), and Phil Spector-esque production into a blender, and this is the end result.
Simply put, Psychocandy is a masterpiece of an album and one that has definitely stayed with me ever since I first heard it.
