Championed by luminaries like John Peel etc., The Shower Scene From Psycho are a captivating absurdity. Labouring at the far end of the universe (aka Melbourne, Australia: 1982) their compelling brew of fuzz guitars, virtuosic theremin solos, helium vocals and outbursts of delirious musique concrete noise is a sound unheard before or since. A post-punk re-imagining of 60s bubblegum pop concocted from strategic cover versions and peerless originals that will leave you singing along as your ears melt. Initially focused around deconstructing pervasive pop hits (One, Purple Haze etc.) the band grew into a fascinating beast producing otherworldly eccentric epics (Lost In Spaces, Falling Down To Hell, Candy Machine) and dark humanistic masterpieces (In My Mind).
