'The La's' turned 30 yesterday. The Liverpool band hated their one and only album, but here's why it left an incredible mark:
People often say, “Lightning never strikes the same place twice.” In regards to musical discographies, that’s clearly not the case, but that was certainly true of The La’s, who faded into obscurity after one cult classic album.
Lillywhite was the sixth—or possibly seventh—and final producer to take a stab at recording the album to the band’s liking, but unsurprisingly, it was no walk in the park. “Lee Mavers had this blueprint in his head for the record,” Lillywhite, “but it was like an acid trip that kept coming back to him, and it would mess him up.
This mystical view of sounds is what informed Mavers’ songwriting and his laser-focused determination, even if it made him sound like a paranoid, pot-smoking lunatic. “What we’re doing is capturing something from a different dimension and harnessing it in a material net,” Maversa Japanese journalist in 1991. “To keep it in its purest form. Don’t dilute it. Don’t try to twist it for your own end.”
