One of the pivotal groups to emerge from the Liverpool neo-psychedelia community during the late ’70s, the Teardrop Explodes was a showcase for Julian Cope, a notoriously eccentric figure whose unfashionable love of Krautrock and hallucinogenic drugs set him distinctly apart from the prevailing punk mentality of the era. Cope formed the band in 1978 after a tenure in the Crucial Three (also comprised of Echo and the Bunnymen’s Ian McCulloch and Wah!’s Pete Wylie); taking their name from a panel in a Marvel comic book… , the premiere lineup of the Teardrop Explodes also featured guitarist Mick Finkler and drummer Gary Dwyer as well as keyboardist Paul Simpson, with whom Cope previously played in the short-lived A Shallow Madness.


Upon signing to Bill Drummond and David Balfe’s fledgling Zoo label, the quartet issued their 1979 debut single « Sleeping Gas, » a surreal electro-pop effort distinguished by its swirling keyboard washes; Simpson exited the Teardrop Explodes’ ranks in the wake of the record’s release, allowing Balfe to assume keyboard and production duties for the bizarre follow-up « Bouncing Babies. » After touring with Echo and the Bunnymen, the group concentrated on steamlining the more excessive elements of its sound: the result, the buoyant « Treason (It’s Just a Story), » nearly reached the pop charts.


After Finkler was replaced by former Dalek I Love You guitarist Alan Gill, the Teardrop Explodes issued 1980’s infectious « When I Dream, » which hit the U.K.
