Marine Girls - Lazy Ways-Beach Party

There are two albums from 1982/3 that, when I hear them, send me straight back to student bed-sit land. Billy Bragg’s “Life’s a Riot” EP is one, the second is this album of lo-fi musical whimsy from Tracy Thorne’s pre-EBTG days.

It’s an album of 31 laid-back tracks, most coming in at the 2 minute mark, played by three girls, two guitars and a drum-kit. 

This is a “very much of it’s time” sound that is impossible to fully appreciate these days imo. But if you were a student in the pre-Aids Thatcher-Regan era, you may want to d/l and spend a hour wallowing in nostalgia.
