Lightships, the new musical outpost from Gerard Love, release their debut album Electric Cables this week in North America. The band are celebrating this launch by sharing a remix from Sonic Boom, formerly of legendary psych rock band Spacemen 3. Peter Kember, aka Sonic Boom, has lent the track “Electric Bloom” the perfect blend of cosmic dreaminess. Fans of Galaxie 500 and The Clientele will swoon. Electric Cables was recorded by Gerard Love and such Glasgow-based luminaries as Dave McGowan (guitar, Teenage Fanclub), Brendan O’Hare (drums, from the first incarnation of Teenage Fanclub), Tom Crossley (flute, International Airport and The Pastels), Jim McCulloch (clarinet) and Bob Kildea (bass, Belle & Sebastian).
