SWELL
Allmusic has a glowing 4½-star review of Beautiful Debris, as written by Ned Raggett: “It’s a fun and accurate album title, Beautiful Debris, collecting the quite wonderful and indeed more often than not sweetly beautiful output of Blair 1523. . . . Compiling both the EP and unreleased tracks, it makes a solid case for Blair 1523 as underrated modern psych gods, mixing a fun kick-up-your-heels rave-up sense – ‘Swell’ is particularly great on this level – with some drone feedback zone-outs to good effect.”
