the jazz butcher

'80s/'90s UK indie label Creation Records was a powerhouse of Britpop, shoegaze, indie rave and more. We picked the label's 21 best records.

From shoegaze to Madchester, pop and hip hop, Sonic Youth to Cocteau Twins, it's Indie Basement's Top albums of 1990.

Record Store day is April 13 and our picks of the exclusive titles include records by The Flaming Lips, Pink Floyd, Courtney Barnett, Julien Baker, Frank Black, The Dream Syndicate, the ’Lost In Translation’ soundtrack and more.

This week there are box sets from The Jazz Butcher and Kitchens of Distinction, a five-disc compilation of classic UK goth, a collection of post-psych/pre-prog UK rock curated by Bob and Pete of Saint Etienne, and the reissue of the album for which the term "post-rock" was coined.
