More than a decade since her last studio album, and close on 30 years since her acclaimed debut album, 'Exile In Guyville', Liz Phair returns with a new record titled 'Soberish'.
To be released in early June, the opening track of 'Soberish' is 'Spanish Doors' that Phair describes as being "about the fracturing of a beautiful life, when everything you counted on is suddenly thrown up for grabs."I drew inspiration from a friend who was going through a divorce, but the actions in the lyrics are my own."
'Soberish' sees Liz once again team with her long-term collaborator Brad Wood, who also worked on Phair's seminal albums 'Exile In Guyville', 'Whip-Smart', and 'whitechocolatespaceegg'.
"I found my inspiration for 'Soberish' by delving into an early era of my music development, my art school years spent listening to art rock and new wave music non-stop on my Walkman.
"The English Beat, The Specials, Madness, R.E.M's 'Automatic for the People', Yazoo, The Psychedelic Furs, Talking Heads, Velvet Underground, Laurie Anderson, and the Cars.
"The city came alive for me as a young person, the bands in my headphones lending me the courage to explore."
'Soberish' will be released 4 June, 2021. Pre-order it.
