Teenager of the Year

Frank Black

A sprawling 22-track odyssey of hyper-literate alternative rock. Jagged guitars, warm synthesizers, and surreal tales of UFOs and old technology.

May 20, 1994 · 4AD

A restless, hyper-intelligent energy that blends sci-fi wonder with sun-drenched nostalgia.

Moments Worth Listening For

the lush, melodic transition into the chorus of Headache that feels like a classic radio hit
the sprawling, keyboard-driven groove of Olé Mulholland that captures a surreal California vibe
