Here’s another generous donation, this time from Jonathan. Here we have a demo tape from Ellysgarden, recorded in 1988<\/s>1995*. \u00a0If you haven’t heard their full length record, 1994’s Echoes<\/em>, you can grab that here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For those unfamiliar, the band shares members with\u00a0Rosa Luxemburg, a band that appears on several classic French compilations.\u00a0 The band employs a more jangle\/dreampop sound than most of their contemporaries, recalling bands like Kitchens of Distinction, House of Love,\u00a0and Catherine Wheel.\u00a0\u00a0 However, this tape leans more towards their post-punk roots and is an absolute must<\/strong> for fans of fans of Sad Lovers and Giants, Lowlife, and Comsat Angels circa My Mind’s Eye<\/em> (an underrated latter-day classic).<\/p>\n

The tape features eight unheard songs that were never recorded again.\u00a0 No artwork for this one! Including a promo photo instead.<\/p>\n

*EDIT: Thanks to Philippe Faraut for filling in the missing gaps! \u00a0I can now report that this cassette was meant to be Ellysgarden’s SECOND album, recorded in 1995 and not 1988 as originally posted. \u00a0 The original master tapes for the pressing were lost in the mail, so all that remains of the album is this demo tape…<\/p>\n
