Galaxie 500


Originated from Cambridge, Massachusetts and formed in 1987. Split up in 1991 after releasing 3 studio albums. The genre is a perfect blend between dream pop and slowcore.

- Today (1988)
- On Fire (1989)
- This Is Our Music (1990)

And one live album

- Copenhagen (1990)


Guitarist Dean Wareham, drummer Damon Krukowski and bassist Naomi Yang first met at the Dalton School in New York City in 1981, but began playing together during their time as students at Harvard University.

On Fire (1989)

Today (1988) and On Fire from 1989 are both very critically acclaimed albums and got a 9.5 and a straight 10.0 on the well-known and respected pitchfork.com

On the soundtrack for the new movie "Greenberg" starring Ben Stiller features a old Galaxie 500 song called "Strange" from On Fire.



Enjoy!
