Description
The scrappy pick-scrape that tees up Supernova’s chorus still feels like a dare. Whip-Smart catches Liz Phair widening the lens after Exile, leaning into chewy riffs and sideways pop while keeping the barbed asides intact. Supernova hits as a sugar-rush crush song with serrated edges, while Jealousy turns a clipped rhythm guitar into a withering shrug. Then Nashville drops the temperature, her voice suddenly close and dry, and you remember how sharp she is when the room gets quiet. This pressing gives the guitars more space and the low end sits deeper, so the choruses feel taller without blurring the snarl. File it next to The Breeders circa Last Splash for the era, but Phair’s melodic deadpan and diary-to-loud-amp energy are their own thing. If you’re in Melbourne and prefer to click rather than crate-dig, you can buy Liz Phair records online with us. It’s tighter than Exile but still messy in the best places. Sequencing keeps that see-saw between bite and sweetness. An easy reach when you want hooks with spine, whether for a late solo drive or a tidy-up that needs a bit of grit.
Order online now or swing past our Preston shop to pick it up.
