180g Vinyl Reissue of 1991 Breakthrough Album!
Girlfriend is the third album by alternative rock musician Matthew Sweet. The album is his commercial and artistic breakthrough and a power pop masterpiece originally released in 1991. Girlfriend is full of haunting heartbreak songs fueled by Matthews divorce and it features guitar contributions by Robert Quine, Richard Lloyd, and Lloyd Cole. From the album cover of a young Tuesday Weld, to the killer songs filling the album, this is one of the best releases of the 1990s and a certified classic.
Long out of print on vinyl, this 180 gram reissue features a new back cover and a four color double sided insert never previously available.
"Matthew Sweet's third album 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." -Stephen Thomas Erlewine, allmusic.com
