Lovey

Dando's first steps towards the mainstream. The major label debut for Evan Dando's Lemonheads from 1990, following three "ramshackle punk" (cSelect 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. Remastered single LP. "Like Hüsker Dü when they were at their most ferocious or REM when they were at their most Byrdsian hypnotic."
