Matthew Sweet - Girlfriend
Sweet's turn of phrase and tone of voice don't add much to the store
of human knowledge about romantic love, and he's not much better on
God or war. So he lets guitars define the ineffables for him--his
stormy acoustic, Lloyd Cole's workaday electric chunka, and Greg
Leisz's choked steel provide a forum where Richard Lloyd and Robert
Quine can testify. And though Lloyd shouldn't be forgotten--his slash
and roll jumpstart the record--it's Quine's aural kabala, longer on
syntheses of ache and soar than on terrible beauty or abstract calm in
this context, that contains the wisdom Sweet needs. Just don't expect
a translation. Review by Robert Christgau
More reviews: a melodic, tuneful middle finger, one of Quine's shining
moments.
