Can you believe it was back in February 2020 when we did our Britpop mixtape? How wild is that? This week we're joined by Glaswegian musician Andy Isacsson, otherwise known as Luminous, who has picked this week’s record. We chat at length about his latest record, Precarious Karma, which took him about a decade to complete. We dive into the influences behind it, the reasons it took so long to finish, and much more. Then, we get into the business of talking about Baader Meinhof and Luke Haines. Unlike a lot of musicians, Andy opted not to release his music on Spotify. So you can check out his album here on Bandcamp. For Record Club subscribers, we’ve also added it to our catalogue. It’s pretty great, and we thoroughly recommend giving it a whirl. To wit. We always knew we’d come back to Britpop one day and we always suspected we’d do so via unorthodox means. Baader Meinhof by Baader Meinhof, Luke Haines’ sorta kinda first solo album, gave us a wee chance to do that. Not because it’s a Britpop record – it’s far from it – but Haines himself has proven to be quite a large figure in the history of that genre. He’s also got a massive discography. In this episode, we touch a little bit on The Auteurs, then very briefly look at Black Box Recorder and a minimal selection of his solo discography. Maybe next week we’ll escape from the 90s hole we seem to have found ourselves in, but I wouldn’t bet on it...
