Galaxie 500 release their second LP, “On Fire”
Ah, the sound of my college years. Perfectly representative album of the developing indie scene of the time (e.g. Doolittle came out around this time)
This is when I started appreciating more mellow music. Probably because on this album they somehow make loud guitars and full throated vocals sound relaxing and dreamy. Lots of reverb and a rather melancholy vibe throughout.
Favorite song by far is the opening track, “Blue Thunder”. But this is another album that I’ve slowly found is best played all the way through, as each track blends seamlessly into the next.
