Liz Phair - Exile in Guyville
Exile in Guyville is the debut album by American singer-songwriter Liz Phair, released on June 22, 1993, by Matador Records. It was recorded at Idful Music Corporation in Chicago between 1992 and 1993 and produced by Phair and Brad Wood. The album received critical acclaim and in 2020, it was ranked No. 56 by Rolling Stone in its 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list.
The album is considered a landmark of indie rock and lo-fi music, as well as a feminist classic. It features candid and explicit lyrics that explore themes such as sexuality, relationships, power dynamics, and self-image. The album is also loosely based on the Rolling Stones' 1972 album Exile on Main St., with each song corresponding to a song on the Stones' album.
The album was preceded by three Girly-Sound tapes that Phair recorded on a four-track cassette recorder in her bedroom and circulated among friends and indie labels. The tapes caught the attention of Matador Records, who signed Phair and gave her a budget of $3,000 to record a full-length album. Phair worked with producer Brad Wood at his studio in Chicago, where they experimented with different sounds and arrangements.
The album spawned two singles, "Never Said" and "Stratford-on-Guy", both of which received airplay on MTV and college radio. The album sold over 200,000 copies in its first year of release, making it one of the most successful indie albums of the 1990s.
The album has been reissued several times, most notably in 2018 for its 25th anniversary. The reissue included a remastered version of the original album, as well as three bonus discs containing the Girly-Sound tapes, unreleased songs, and live recordings.
