20th Anniversary Limited Edition 180g Double LP!
First Time Ever On Vinyl! Includes Rare B-Sides Not Included On Original Album!
Semisonic's 1998 hit album, Feeling Strangely Fine, is celebrating its 20th Anniversary this year! Featuring the #1 Billboard Modern Rock Track "Closing Time" and globally charting "Secret Smile", this unique collector's edition contains rare b-sides from the album recording sessions. Available on 180-gram double vinyl black wax.
"When I started writing songs for the album that would become Feeling Strangely Fine, John Munson and Jake Slichter and I were living in South Minneapolis. I had decided a while back that my best songs were about me and the people I loved or admired and our adventures and troubles, and the new songs really reflected that ideal. I was writing about our lives," reflects Dan Wilson. "I remember telling Jake I wanted to make a record that had the folk music simplicity of Simon & Garfunkel but also the loudness of U2 and Nirvana. I wasn't thinking that these songs would become the soundtrack for so many people's lives. We definitely weren't thinking that these songs would still be played on the radio 20 years later."
"...these guys had tunes for days. Tucked away in the back half of this record is the fist-pumping power pop marvel 'All Worked Out' and the chiming ballad 'She Spreads Her Wings.' Appended to this re-release are a handful of equally worthy b-sides that show off more rock-centric sensibilities from the band and the kind of pop chops that helped Wilson earn his current status as in-demand songwriter. In time, this will get recognized as a lost classic." - Paste Magazine
