June 4 street date. Liz Phair brashly but effortlessly drops lyrical nuggets into her melody-driven, lo-fi songs. It makes for a devastating back catalogue; each of her records acts as another timely klaxon call for a generation not prepared to sit back nor shut up. It's a career that's heralded her Grammy Award nominations, a spot on Rolling Stone's albums of all-time list, and decades of critical acclaim that has inspired and influenced some of the brightest new faces of yesterday and today, veering from cult icon to mainstream concern. Over a decade since her last record was released, Liz Phair now returns with another bagful of fireworks already fizzing to be let off in the shape of new album "Soberish". Liz maintains the sass that propelled her to become such a critical darling, and that innate ear for melody and razor sharp way with words." Hey Lou" is the record's opening gambit, a mischievous ode to Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson, and Liz's jaunty lament back into our ears. Welcome back Miss Phair, we've missed you.

October 20 street date. 2023 marks the 30th anniversary of Liz Phair's beloved debut record, "Exile In Guyville", and to celebrate, Matador Records have reissued the album on a limited-edition purple double-LP. Loosely framed as a song-by-song reply to The Rolling Stones' "Exile on Main St.", "Exile In Guyville" was dubbed a classic upon arrival. In ensuing years its profile has only risen, earning #4 on Pitchfork's "Best 150 Albums of the 1990s" and #56 on Rolling Stone's "Best 500 Albums of All Time", as well as being regarded as an iconic feminist landmark. Continuing to defy expectations and break barriers, Liz Phair has released five albums, sold over five million records, composed music for television, and received two Grammy® nominations. Three decades after the release of her debut, Phair's influence in contemporary music - and particularly over female voices -resonates more strongly than ever.
