LADIES LOVE ORACLE/VINYLE ORANGE TRANSLUCIDE/ANNIVERS

Description

"The Oracle of Love for Ladies, that's me in raw form, me in the dark, me in the basement. Sometimes, a sketch says more than a mural," is what singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Grant-Lee Phillips said in 1999 about his upcoming debut solo album. Recorded in three days in Jon Brion's basement studio (the producer for Fiona Apple, Aimee Mann, and many others), Ladies' Love Oracle was released following the dissolution of Grant Lee Buffalo, the widely celebrated trio that first brought Phillips national recognition. The album was critically acclaimed upon its release, with AllMusic stating that "Phillips joins the golden ranks of Bob Mould, Mark Eitzel, and Kristin Hersh – songwriters who have thrived alone in the wake of their respective bands." On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Ladies' Love Oracle, the album is being released on vinyl for the first time.
