In this episode, we’re diving into Matthew Sweet’s 1991 breakout album, “Girlfriend”—a power pop gem that blends heartache, soaring melodies, and some of the most electrifying guitar work of the era. From its jangly, Beatles-esque hooks to the raw emotion behind Sweet’s lyrics, “Girlfriend” became an instant cult classic and remains a defining album of ‘90s alternative rock. We’ll explore its backstory, the impact of Sweet’s songwriting, and why this record still resonates more than 30 years later. So grab your headphones, and let’s take a ride through this power pop masterpiece!
