Celebrate Post-Punk Psychedelia with The Wild Swans’ Space Flower on Purple Vinyl
Posted by Orchard Records on
Space Flower is the second album from Liverpool post-punk band The Wild Swans, formed by Paul Simpson in 1980 after leaving the Teardrop Explodes. Known for its infectious, colorful, and playful psychedelia, the album replaced the earnestness of their debut Bringing Home the Ashes with vibrant guitar-pop grooves.

The record features standout tracks like “Melting Blue Delicious”, a groovy bubblegum pop single, and closes with the 10-minute trancelike jam “Sea of Tranquillity”. Produced by Ian Broudie, a veteran of the Liverpool scene, the album benefits from decades of experience and creative vision, capturing the essence of 1980s indie post-punk.
