GIRLY SOUND TO GUYVILLE

Description

Along with the oft-forgotten Juliana Hatfield, Liz Phair was an instigator for the feisty American female singer-songwriters of the 90s, with Alanis Morissette and Sheryl Crow at the forefront. More raw, more violent – in short, more rock'n'roll! Above all, from this first album, the tigress unleashed her anthems of an angry, devil-may-care, or nihilistic young woman 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 landmark album that every self-respecting record collection should contain. It is continuously cited in prestigious top lists, 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 going all out with a box set befitting the event, tracing the legend back to its beginnings with the famous Girly-Sound Songs – the cassette tapes that the then-unknown young singer-songwriter distributed herself before getting noticed and signing with Matador. All in 7LP and 3CD format!
