The Bachelor Pad



From Tales of Hofmann. It took me a long time to realize they meant Albert, rather than ETA - I figured they were just poor spellers. The Bachelor Pad were from Scotland. They sound as if they're on the verge of falling apart, drifting in and out of synch (and perhaps consciousness) but cohering just enough to establish the hook in your mind. An album's worth is slightly queasiness-inducing, but they made some cracking records.

The Bachelor Pad - Country Pancake
The Bachelor Pad - I Want to Hold Your Head
The Bachelor Pad - Girl of your Dreams
