Just listened to Pychocandy ...
I'm surprised how retro it sounds for its time. Almost everything about it screams 1966 right down to the production — The VU meets fuzz tone garage rock.

Just picked up Honey's Dead. And sure enough, it's a good one. This may be my favorite of their's to date.
This was one of those bands that a small contingent of people at my high school were really into, along with Swans, Pixies, Joy Division, The Housemartins, etc.... to be honest, the only song I can recall from them was (I think) called "Rollercoaster"? I remember liking it at the time, it's been years since I've even thought about most of this stuff.

Rollercoaster was by The Mighty Lemon Drops, who were also in this same vein...
No, I'm definitely thinking of The Jesus And Mary Chain. I've never heard of The Mighty Lemon Drops, although that's quite a name!
