Underwater Moonlight is the second studio album by English rock band The Soft Boys, released on 28 June 1980 by record label Armageddon. Initially unsuccessful, the album has gone on to be viewed as a psychedelic classic, influential on the development of the neo-psychedelia music genre and on a number of bands, especially . It is included in Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

Let's talk about the music not the pressing. This album has some first class songs!! This band was simply too good for 1980. Reply Notify me 1 Helpful.

Underwater Moonlight. LP (12" album, 33 rpm). Baha Men The Soft Boys Format: Vinyl. Swarming hymns of 2nd generation psychedelic pop mastery, The Soft Boys' two most influential and groundbreaking albums are finally back in print via Yep Roc Records. Main man Robyn Hitchcock, along with demon guitarist Kimberley Rew, bassist Matthew Seligman and drummer Morris Windsor manage to bottle '60s guitar pop, shake it up with caged teenage fury and cut it all with a healthy dose of lyrical levity

Freshly reissued by Matador, Underwater Moonlight presents the classic Soft Boys lineup- Hitchcock, guitarist Kimberly Rew, bassist Matthew Seligman, and drummer Morris Windsor- as the Band of the Avenging Dorks Who Can't Get Laid. Though the bonus set of unreleased demos from the period certainly sweetens the deal, the real show here is all in the original LP. Playing honeyed pop songs with punk fury, the Soft Boys ran through tracks like "I Wanna Destroy You" at breakneck pace, all the while dishing up Byrdsy harmonies and jangling guitars. The album was made, apparently, under horribly stressful circumstances, with the band rehearsing in a humid little shack and recording under brutal low-tech conditions. Completely out of favor with the hipster record industry of the day, the band ended up initially releasing the thing themselves.

The Soft Boys were a delic band which formed in 1976 in Cambridge, England. The band's best known lineup consisted of Robyn Hitchcock (vocals, guitar), Kimberley Rew (guitar), Matthew Seligman (bass) and Morris Windsor (drums). Seligman replaced original bassist Andy Metcalfe in 1979, and two guitarists (Rob Lamb and Alan Davies) briefly preceded Rew. The band issued two albums, A Can of Bees (1979) and Underwater Moonlight (1980), before splitting in 1980. After recording the material that would later comprise the bulk of Invisible Hits, the Soft Boys recorded their masterpiece, the shimmering neo-psychedelic Underwater Moonlight.
