Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

13. The Electric Peanut Butter Co.Trans-Atlantic Psych Classics Vol. 2

This is Shawn Lee, the brilliant producer, who has played with so many people. He also looks like Gandalf, which I love. This album is luscious, cinematic psych, and it’s inspired me to start playing the double bass, as it’s got such a melodic bass running straight through. You could just extract the bass lines from the songs and the listening experience would still be wonderful. I thought I’d end with a record of pure joy.
