Friday Flashback: Matthew Sweet–“Girlfriend”

Matthew Sweet released the Girlfriend album in 1991. I didn’t discover it until 1993 when my college roommate introduced him to me. I fell in love instantly, and then that year Matthew Sweet released another great album, Altered Beast. I’ve been a fan ever since despite his last few albums not being as strong, but all his 90s stuff is great. To this day, Girlfriend is my favorite road tripping album.

His latest album, Modern Art, was just released this past Tuesday. I haven’t listened to is much yet, but it will be in my rotation for the next few weeks.
