Matthew Sweet : Girlfriend
Sealed 12" Vinyl Album : Zoo Entertainment/BMG Music 1991 #7244511051 Stereo

Matthew Sweet was born in 1964 in Lincoln, Nebraska. He began playing music while he was a high-school student. He decided to attend the University of Georgia in Athens because of its burgeoning underground music scene. He met Lynda Stipe and joined her band, Oh-OK, and played on the Mitch Easter-produced Furthermore What. The following year, he and Oh-OK drummer David Pierce formed Buzz of Delight. Sweet then cut a demo tape with producer Don Dixon. Columbia Records offered him a contract in 1985. Upon signing with Columbia, he relocated to New York and recorded his debut, Inside. Released in 1986, Inside featured Sweet playing nearly all of the instruments on the record, supported by a drum machine; the album also featured several cameos, including Chris Stamey, Fred Maher, Anton Fier, and Aimee Mann. That same year, Sweet guested on an album by Fier's band, the Golden Palominos. During 1988, he signed with A&M Records and recorded his second album, Earth. Produced by Fred Maher and released in 1989, Earth again featured Sweet as a one-man band, augmented by guitarists Robert Quine (Lou Reed, Richard Hell) and Richard Lloyd (Television). Over the next year, he toured as Lloyd Cole's guitarist. The president of Zoo signed him upon overhearing the demo in an office. Girlfriend, an album largely inspired by the dissolution of his marriage, was the first album Sweet recorded with a live band, and its sound, which was powered by Lloyd and Quine, was considerably more immediate and raw than its predecessors. Sweet recorded the follow-up to Girlfriend with producer Richard Dashut, who had previously been best known for his work with Fleetwood Mac and Lindsey Buckingham. Altered Beast became a sizable college radio hit on the strength of the modern rock and MTV hits "The Ugly Truth" and "Time Capsule." Sweet recorded his fifth album, 100% Fun, this time with a more commercial producer, Brendan O'Brien, who had previously worked with Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots. 100% Fun received Sweet's strongest reviews to date and went gold on the strength of "Sick of Myself". (web bio)

Girlfriend is a remarkable artistic breakthrough. Grounded in the guitar pop of the Beatles, Big Star, Byrds, R.E.M., and Neil Young, Girlfriend melds all of Sweet's influences into one majestic, wrenching sound that encompasses both the gentle country-rock of "Winona" and the winding guitars of the title track and "Divine Intervention." Sweet's music might have recognizable roots, but Girlfriend never sounds derivative; thanks to his exceptional songwriting, the album is a fresh, original interpretation of a classic sound. Personnel: Matthew Sweet; Fred Maher, Greg Leisz, Lloyd Cole, Ric Menck, Richard Lloyd , Robert Quine. (web review)
