Along with the overlooked Juliana Hatfield, Liz Phair would be the instigator of the strong-willed American female singer-songwriters of the 90s, with Alanis Morissette and Sheryl Crow leading the way. More raw, more violent, in short, more rock'n'roll! Above all, from this very first album, the tigress unleashes her anthems of an angry young woman, indifferent or nihilistic, into a diverse rock landscape. Power pop, lo-fi folk, or punchy rock, she conquers everything she touches!
Released in 1993, Exile In Guyville is a benchmark album that every respectable record collection should contain. It is continuously cited in prestigious rankings, such as Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest albums of all time & 100 best albums of the 90’s, Pitchfork’s Top 100 albums of the 90’s, etc. For the album's 25th anniversary, Matador is re-releasing this cult album in a remastered double vinyl and CD version.
