Flying Saucer Attack

Flying Saucer Attack (1993)

A band who seemed doomed to nothing more than a cult following, but for good reason. Flying Saucer Attack refused the assistance of recording studios, making way for their feedback-ridden, lofi psychedelic DIY attack. Crafting dreamy melodies similar to My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive with new age-esque ambience (two tracks on the album are named Popol Vuh 1 & 2 if that tells you anything), this is a record that drones, swells, and screeches with its eyes gazing upwards. For proof, just check out that album cover. From here, they would go on to master their otherworldly droning with the album Further.

Similarly, the cover tells all. A decidedly darker and stranger affair than the self titled, but another classic nonetheless. This album features a more melancholic sound with less vocals and more emphasis on post-rock compositions. Here, the lofi qualities are more concentrated, with the noise and ambience turned up to 11. They released a few more albums following Further, most notably New Lands in '97. For best results, smoke a bowl and grab some headphones. Both the self titled and Further are available below. -N
