That jangly sound

I only recently purchased Murmur by REM and the guitar sound reminds me a lot of The Good Earth by the Feelies. Also the wonderful break on The Replacements 'I will Dare' by Peter Buck has it. People often call it Jangle or a Byrds-sounding chime. REM never really captured that sound again, as far as i know. But can anyone tell me what other albums that I might have missed out on, in the eighties or nineties (or later) have this sound?

 

Try Emergency Third Rail Power Trip by the Rain Parade.

 

anything done with Rickenbacker guitars. "Jangly" is a pretty wide description, you can hear it in the Beatles, the Bangles, even a lot of Tom Petty.

 

A subsequent single:

 

Bangles
Marshall Crenshaw

 

Thanks, I never heard of them!

 

The La's

 

Yes, Manic Monday has this guitar sound, but I associate Marshall Crenshaw more with early Costello New Wave/Power Pop..

 

Anything by The Clean or David Kilgour. If you can find a copy, I'd suggest David Kilguor & The Heavy Eights from 1997. If you can't find that, get the first one on Merge in the US, A Feather in the Engine (2001), or get Frozen Orange (2004). All great. All jangly.

Below from their last release in 2014 ...

 

What do you mean? That guy could jingle jangle with the best of 'em!

 

Just to make sure the OP has the album titles of the videos I posted above, I would strongly recommend that he check out the Connells' Boylan Heights (produced by Mitch Easter, and featuring a twin-Rickenbacker twelve-string line-up), Let's Active's Cypress, and Miracle Legion's The Backyard EP.

Also the Bluebells' Sisters and Aztec Camera's High Land, Hard Rain and Knife.

 

Aztec Camera! dam I wish I thought of that one.

 

R.E.M.'s Chronic Town, Reckoning, Fables Of The Reconstruction, Lifes Rich Pageant and Dead Letter Office all have the jangle sound too. I'd also recommend Out Of Time for similar reasons, certainly Near Wild Heaven fits the description. If you want to pick just one definitely Reckoning. I don't think it gets more quintessential jangle R.E.M. than Harborcoat.

 

Loads of British indie bands in the early eighties were considered to be 'jangly'... especially those on the Postcard label.

 

Bow before the greatest jangly player of them all:

 

go betweens

 

All Music Guide has some good suggestions here.

 

Yup, that first Bangles album especially has some great jangly guitar.

 

Yes, I have some albums which Mitch Easter produced! Like Velvet Crush :Teenage Symphonies, there's this song Time wraps around you which is so great..
