Sour Mash
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
The Mystery Girls were a UK pop rock outfit that emerged from the 1980s indie landscape with infectious, guitar-driven melodies and clever wordplay. Sour Mash, their 1988 Blast Furnace release, captures the band at their creative peak—a record that balances sharp pop sensibilities with genuine rock edge. The album moves between upbeat, almost bouncy moments to more introspective passages, held together by bright production and memorable hooks. What makes this LP compelling is its refusal to choose between accessibility and substance; tracks have real arrangements and ideas beneath the pop surface. If you dig early 80s UK indie pop with grit—think Postcard Records aesthetic but slightly more rock-leaning—this is worth discovering. The band never became household names, so original pressings have that satisfying scarcity.
