"That Moment in British Rock Between Psych and Prog"

"1970 and 1971 were also the years of Ride a White Swan and T Rextasy, of Black Sabbath's Paranoid and Meddle by Pink Floyd, of Hunky Dory, Maggie May and Madman Across the Water. Not much in the way of morning-after-the-60s hangover or pensive uncertainty there: the music that would come to define British rock in the 70s was well underway, and its progenitors already had their gazes fixed firmly forward. But English Weather tells an alternative story, using the stuff that fell through the cracks to create something really compelling and immersive: it's a pleasure to lose yourself in it."
