I think Guthrie's production is what makes the best bits of Spooky so good (and much prefer it to Sweetness And Light). One of my favourite bits is the swirling guitar sound in Ocean that jumps between your left and right ears when you listen with headphones.

I am anti-Guthrie on this. much prefer everything else they did apart from the Lovelife album to Spooky

tbh Emma wasn't much better, wall-to-wall FBPE, but maybe less TERFs

what does "wall-to-wall FBPE" mean

I? not I! He! He! HIM! (akm), Saturday, 29 July 2023 00:17 (eight months ago) link

FBPE = follow back pro-europe. basically a Twitter siren for centrists for whom nothing matters but Brexit. NB I did not vote for Brexit just tbc. basically a load of "sensible" twats who "hate the Tories" but want to replace them with people who will enact policies that are almost exactly the same as the Tories but they might grimace a bit and say sorry before they do it.

wonder if a 'Glasgow' label will reissue them next

PaulTMA, Saturday, 29 July 2023 00:33 (eight months ago) link

ah see I keep seeing references to this but I don't know which label this refers to

I appreciate Guthrie’s contributions. I’m not sure that Lush themselves were capable of making a great album 100% all on their lonesome. Guthrie’s production is no different than, say, the strings on Split that give that album the extra edge.

I dislike both Guthrie’s Christmas tree production and how weak 60% of Spooky’s songs are. Found Emma’s twitter tedious but hadn’t realised Miki was a reactionary as well.
