This week's theme is inspired by summer releases from Ride, Slowdive, Cruel Summer, and Lazy Legs. Episode 2 of Boy with Girl's Name Morning Mixtape explores the shoegaze-style of alternative rock that began in England around 1985 and continues to explore the furthest limits of amplified guitar textures. Features My Bloody Valentine, Catherine Wheel, Cocteau Twins, Chapterhouse, Blonde Redhead, Ringo Deathstarr, Brief Candles, Chasms, and Trementina, among others. (I'm also in training, so mild awkwardness still ensues.) Thank you for listening!
