The Boo Radleys - Kaleidoscope (1990) + Boo Up! (1991)

Previously on OPIUM HUM:
The Boo Radleys - Giant Steps (1993)

Two early EPs from supremely underrated, power pop-savvy shoegazers The Boo Radleys. If you're anything like me, you're sold within the first few seconds of the first song -- pretty much as soon as you hear that rich, fuzzed-out guitar tone.

Track listing:
-Kaleidoscope-
1. Kaleidoscope
2. How I Feel
3. Aldous
4. Swansong
-Boo Up!-
1. Everybird
2. Sometime Soon She Said
3. Foster's Van

You don't know how it feels to be dead
