’90s Indie Rock—Still Rocking It

fileunder_hi.jpg

Sugar’s File Under Easy Listening came out in 1994, but it’s somehow the perfect record for the winter of ‘07. Don’t just take my word for it, though. See what Amazon reviewer J. F Treml “no_jack_no” has to say about it:

i listen to this album because i like my bloody valentine so much and loveless is a little strong and easy to overdose on. there are some song on this album that i can’t live without and there’s some songs here that i wish i had lived without.
gee angel is cute andi want to like it, but the lyrics kill it. and then there’s ‘explode and make up’ and ‘can’t believe what you’re saying’ that kill me. they’re fantastic. these are exactly the kind of powerful, heart wrenching songs that make bob mould great.

Well said, J. F Treml.
