I think you already know of my love for this album. I had it in 97 when it was first released and it’s one of those gems I go back to regularly. Definitely hard to classify this album. One thing I do know is that all these years later I still love it

Very hard to classify, and very easy to love!

There are still copies of the 25th anniversary vinyl reissue available on their Bandcamp page. Although it's one less than it was a few minutes ago ;)

Fantastic! Hopefully, there's a few less than that by now. :)

In October of 97, I was a senior in high school and than hearing This is the Day on the Something About Mary soundtrack, I have absolutely no recollection of this band or this album! That could have probably been a couple of sentences instead of the run masterpiece that it is. I’m excited to dig through this and see what missed out on.

Lol. Run on sentences are totally okay; sometimes I even write them myself, mostly because I like em dahses--what can I say?

That's a brilliant album and a good comparison to St. Etienne - it's an album that can be played almost any time and cheer you up

Thank you Kevin... This episode is worth it alone to hear Dominique's approach towards their first live show. An absolutely delightful couple!

Somehow I missed the boat on this one in '97.

A lot of joy back then from Saint Etienne and Ivy.

This was great. I didn't know about the existence of this record. Love how it's both simultaneously very 90s and timeless. I've Got a Feeling is infectious!
