Album Notes & Community Reviews

A delightfully weird and incredibly infectious alternative rock anthem centered around Josephine Wiggs' iconic, sliding bassline. The track is a masterful collage of distorted guitar squalls, whispered vocals, and Kim Deal's distinctive, bouncy pop sensibilities. Co-produced by Steve Albini, it became one of the defining, ubiquitous hits of the MTV alternative era.
