Description

Ever since Exile In Guyville landed in 1993, Liz Phair has been cipher for a certain kind of aesthetic. Shes been called the female face of indie rock, a slacker poet of the first degree and a brainy bad girl, but she forever remains Americas sardonic sweetheart. Following up her great trifecta of albums that included Exile in Guyville (1993), Whip-Smart (1994) and Whitechocolatespaceegg (1998), Liz Phairs eponymous fourth full-length effort and second in just ten years found her working in a more mainstream pop arena with singer/songwriters Michael Penn and Pete Yorn and hitmakers The Matrix. The album debuted at No. 27 on the Billboard 200 and yielded the successful singles Why Cant I? and Extraordinary.
