10 Most Underrated Indie Rock Albums Of All Time
3. Quickspace - The Death Of Quickspace
Rising from the ashes of underrated early ‘90s noise act Th’Faith Healers, Quickspace stretched and twisted that raucous sound to make something more ethereal and fragile but no less effective. Their final record, 2000’s The Death of Quickspace, is a bizarre and but insistent album that will burrow into your brain forever.
With heavy krautrock influences, Quickspace milk everything they can out of drones and rhythms, with the delightfully indulgent "Climbing A Hill" seeing them stretch woozy guitars and theremins to breaking point.
The album’s best work comes when they embrace the melodic, evocative, and downright pretty. “Gloriana” oscillates between two dreamy sections before stomping on the fuzz pedal for an extended coda. “A Rose” pulls off a similar feat, stumbling upon a truly blissful chorus that you’d happily listen to forever.
For those who enjoy music that focuses on loops, grooves, drones, and vibes, The Death Of Quickspace couldn’t come with a higher recommendation. It’s hardly a huge surprise they never made it big - the song lengths alone would keep them off the radio - but this is music that appeals to all the senses.
