Lime Green Girl A Mess of Yesterdays

caroline quasi stellar radio source
bring me the shears! uncheerupable
seven rollercoasters steve albini
i remember swimming whatever you need
all the stars are jewel-bright see you around
if you could read my mind humming
cellophane terrific
purple milk and yr pink sky

Weather is often referenced in reviews of this windswept, atmospheric pop band from Los Angeles; chiming guitars and the occassional touches of strings most likely have much to do with that. Their fifth cd not only finds them mining such meteorological territory again, but also collects a number of those past moments. Serving as both a new album and a retrospective, Lime Green Girl is a nine song album with seven bonus tracks culled from their previous releases, most of which are long out of print. Comparisons have have been made to the Go-Betweens, Yo La Tengo, My Bloody Valentine, and the Jazz Butcher among others. Pleasant company indeed. The release date is forecast (yes, one more weather reference) for November 2000.
