Medicine - Her Highness (1995)


Medicine's absurdly underrated third album. Heavenly, pop-leaning shoegaze. It's like, I get it, y'all, it's less abrasive than their first two records, and we're all supposed to pretend that that's inherently bad, but come on -- taken on its own terms, this album's great. Sure, it's super 90s, but I refuse to hold that against it.

Track listing:
1. All Good Things
2. Wash Me Out
3. Candy Candy
4. I Feel Nothing at All
5. A Fractured Smile
6. Farther Dub
7. Farther Down
8. Aarhus
9. Seen the Light Alone
10. Heads

I tell you lies
I sympathize
With your demon
When he turns you inside out

  1. Like the Rev said, fuck em. To paraphrase the Cajun Chef from the old PBS cooking show, "The kind of music that's good is the kind you like."

  2. Saw them live at a reasonably small bar on the tour for this album. Eddie Offord did their live sound for them and it was a glorious sonic assault. Eddie was one of the most unpleasant people I have ever beheld...ran the poor house sound tech through the ringer, but she learned a shit-ton about how to do sound that night.
