Kimi Ga Suki Raifu

Description

LIMITED ORANGE VINYL REPRESS

Originally released on CD in Japan in 2003, as a love letter & thank you to his Japanese fans. Recorded at home, produced, engineered & mixed by Matthew Sweet (bass, guirars & vocals) with the classic Girlfriend era lineup of Ric Menck (drums), Greg Leisz (guitars) and the genius electric lead guitar of Televisions Richard Lloyd. The sleeve art is by renowned artist Yoshimoto Nara. In the liner notes, Sweet describes the albums title as an attempt at reverse English: If I did it correctly, the title should seem a little strange or wrong, but still meaningful! The true definition is supposed to be a love you life, one devoted to loving someone or something, even life itself! an excellent modern guitar pop album, filled with great hooks and harmonies and irresistible ringing six-strings Allmusic Kimi crackles with Girlfriends energy, as Lloyd and Sweets guitars provide antagonistic foils as they did more than a decade before on cuts like Tonight We Ride.
