First re-released in 2020 as a deluxe double LP/CD for RSD, the (original) single LP is now available again!
Dando's first steps towards the mainstream. The major label debut for Evan Dando's Lemonheads from 1990, following three "ramshackle punk" (Select magazine) albums for Taang! Pivoted on a more approachable set of sweet melodies still rife with punky spirit. A light and dark album, polished in the arrangements, nodding to the excess of American culture (Manson and Gummi Bears), hectoring Reagan's drug laws (`Lil' Seed'), riffing on everyday life. This is where Dando's journey as an Americana/Alternative country-influenced punk songwriter begins to take shape, exemplified by the canonised `Ride With Me' and the underrated single `Half The Time', among others. Remastered single LP.
