S6E335 - The Soft Boys 'Underwater Moonlight' with Tom Lawery
Manage episode 401444930 series 2170506
For our final episode of Season 6, we're joined by TRGMH super-fan Tom Lawery as we explore a classic of neo-psychedelic post-punk, The Soft Boys' seminal 1980 release: 'Underwater Moonlight'. Robyn Hitchcock's jangly, twisted pop songs were hugely influential to a slew of 80s alternative bands, and we could hardly contain our glee at revisiting this timeless classic of a record!
