Song of the Day: The Inspiral Carpets - She Comes In The Fall



The Inspiral Carpets remain one of the most underrated acts of later psychedelic music. While their output could be patchy, the number of stand out tracks make up for any filler padding out their albums. Matching psychedelia with contemporary alternative rock, they were classed alongside leading lights the Happy Mondays and The Stone Roses with the "Madchester" scene, which later expanded geographically into "baggy." The most important aspect of that style was (as mentioned before) the merging of older psychedelia with later styles like indie or house music. The Inspiral Carpets took the psychedelic influence the furthest, at the most extreme sounding like a slightly late addition to the Nuggets canon.

A true gem in their back catalogue, "She Comes In The Fall" throws prominent organ lines into a frenetic, rolling mix. Exhilerating and an excellent introduction to the band.
