While his Spaceman 3 bandmate Jason Pierce went on to wider success and acclaim in Spiritualized, Pete ‘Sonic Boom’ Kember spent much of the 90s and 2000s adrift while other acts flew along the psych rock vapour trails he and Pierce had left in their wake. Animal Collective are one such band, and after Noah ‘Panda Bear’ Lennox name checked Spacemen 3 in the sleeve notes to 2007’s Person Pitch, he and Kember struck up a friendship, with Kember subsequently producing Lennox’s 2011 album Tomboy and Panda Bear Meets The Grim Reaper in 2015. Reset is the perfect pairing of their mind-frazzling talents. Using Kember’s collection of old 45s as a launch pad (samples from The Everley Brothers, Eddie Cochran, The Drifters and more provide the basis for some of the tracks here), they knocked together a contraption stuffed with retro-futurist, psychedelic pop delights. With echoes of The Beach Boys, 60s beat bands and Joe Meek’s space age productions rattling through its chassis, Reset was record that felt both familiar and utterly unique. Kember had finally found his new musical co-pilot.
