The Teardrop Explodes

Musical Group

English neo-psychedelic/new wave band from Liverpool, formed in the late 1970s and fronted by Julian Cope; best-known albums include Kilimanjaro (1980) and Wilder (1981).

Fronted by Julian Cope; associated with Liverpool's late-70s/early-80s neo-psychedelic and new wave scene. Reviews and public sources note members including Ian McCulloch, Pete Wylie and Troy Tate in early line-ups. Julian Cope went on to a solo career and authored works such as Krautrocksampler and The Modern Antiquarian.

Two DeBaser reviews focus on The Teardrop Explodes' albums Kilimanjaro and Wilder. Reviewers praise Julian Cope's songwriting and the band's neo-psychedelic/new-wave sound rooted in Liverpool. Kilimanjaro is singled out as captivating; Wilder is described as a keyboard-coloured, pop-psychedelic follow-up.

For:Fans of neo-psychedelia, post-punk and British new wave

 Kilimanjaro (1980) is an album that captivates at the first listen, engaging the emotional sphere and enchanting it to such an extent that any attempt at auditory detox becomes futile.
