thebunk Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 The Wake - Here Comes Everybody + Singles The Wake are one of those bands that started out as a group that blended in too much within their scene upon inception and then almost overnight, became too ahead of their time without really any home at all (for a while anyway). Their music would go on to influence an entire record label (Sarah Records) along with many within the Captured Tracks stable (Wild Nothing, Beach Fossils and Spell Crafts have all covered The Wake on special 7" releases for the label) along with countless other artists. The Drums proudly proclaimed that they started their band with the goal to mould their sound after The Wake. So why is it that that band had only gained attention from small pockets of fans scattered throughout 4 decades? After a self-released single, the band signed to Factory Records and released their first full-length record (Harmony) sounding like a Movement-era New Order release. After a few line-up changes and the release of a few singles, the band went back to the studio to release what would become the best album of their career, the 1985 release "Here Comes Everybody". The album takes the early New Order and Cure influenced post-punk sound and then introduced a dreamy quality. Hushed, reverb filled vocals and angular effects-laden guitar lines were complimented with synths that just hovered in the background. Some of the songs fit the standard pop timing (i.e. World of Her Own) while others would float past the 6 minute mark which album highlights "O Pamela" and "Melancholy Man" are a prime example of. The album admittedly is not filled with immediately catchy songs but is really more focused on establishing a mood and as a whole, works wonderfully. It is easy to see how the atmosphere that they created has influenced Jack Tatum of Wild Nothing. Check out "Melancholy Man" here: Not only did the The Wake help innovate upon the Dream Pop blueprint but they also practically invented the sound of the jangly indie dream pop sound with the release of one song; "Pale Spectre". Pale Spectre proved to be an even bigger leap forward for the band with not a hint of their former post-rock sound left. Pale Spectre is pure shimmering dreamy pop with a bounce and sweet angelic vocals; a sound that bands like "The Field Mice" and "The Pains of Being Pure at Heart" would further develop and make a career of (this is not a bad thing by the way). There are a number of other great songs they would release as well as singles such as "Gruesome Castle" and "Plastic Flowers". Have a listen of Pale Spectre" here: If you can find the Captured Tracks reissue of Here Comes Everybody + Singles, it is very much worth it. It collects the HCE LP on one vinyl and then the crucial singles on another (also comes with a sweet 12 x 12 booklet as well). Hey guys. Forum member Paralyticstalks posted a thread for a PO for Captured Tracks scaled back repress of The Wake's "Here Comes Everbody + Singles". It looks like a steal for $25 but looks like it is limited so I would jump on it now if you like the clips above (or want to take a chance on a great underrated collection by a band at their creative peak).

LeeKaye Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Those Lush shirts remind me. I was a massive fan of Lush in the early 90s, and loved their work with Gala on repeat. More than this, I thought Miki was the most beautiful woman alive. Shallow maybe, but still jack8urt0n 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drds89 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Been moping about the Pinkshinyultrablast Kiddy Pool Dreams 10" single /300 Frosted Pink, Blue and Purple being $30ppd from the Club AC30 page. They are sold out there, but tweeted a couple distros have some, so I checked it out. Both places had better shipping rates and the records cost less than the label? Norman Records has them for $17.88, and if you buy another record (I got Taffy Darkle 10" EP for $17.56), the 5 quid total shipping, puts each of them at $21.68 each ppd. Plus 10% off next order (looking at more Taffy... since I couldn't swing a deal like Juan did a while back) and "Norman points" to boot. I don't know how many they have left and that's still steep for a single, but for the 10" #YOLO. So, hth any PSUB fans. The new song is killer, can't wait for the LP. Hope they do don't do any more singles or an EP. We'll see how shipping goes, as they offer a 'heavier protected' option for 1.75 quid more, but I didn't go that route.

If you are overseas, my new favorite distro - Norman Records - has them for 22 quid (>$33 for US). Looked at adding on to my order, but I wasn't $37- worth fond of the music /album art. $19.99 sure. But if this is your band, there are some available, and I wonder if Picadilly would have some, too. If anyone sees any US distros or shops with them, please post here.
