Picture In Mind (Orange Vinyl Reissue)
English singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Rachel Love began her musical career in the late 70s with the legendary Dolly Mixture, a group of three teenage friends who subverted pretty much every rock cliche imaginable with their bright, energetic DIY pop music and created the template for countless non-dude bands since. No one used the words postpunk or indiepop back then, but Dolly Mixture are in the DNA of both.
After Dolly Mixture wrapped-up in 1984 Rachel continued writing and playing music, but it wasn't until 2021 that she released the first record under her own name. "Picture In Mind" is packed with lush, dreamy pop that sits comfortably between 60s sunshine pop and and the mod-ish sounds of groups like Saint Etienne and Broadcast.
Tunes like "Primrose Hill," "Wandlebury" and "Borrowed Time" drift by like daydreams, foregrounding Rachel's lovely voice and melodies. Co-produced with her late husband, Steve Lovell (Blur, Julian Cope), "Picture In Mind" is minimal but never overly spare; rather it basks in a warm simplicity that feels like a tonic in these hectic times.
Initially released as a limited edition on CD only, we're very happy to bring "Picture In Mind" out on vinyl LP -- a beautiful orange vinyl edition at that
