Matthew Sweet’s third album, Girlfriend, is one of my favorite albums. It was release way back in 1991. Thirty years on, on his 15th studio album, Catspaw, Sweet revisits the guitar-driven, alternative-rock sound, with power-pop hooks that that made Girlfriend a classic. What is new is Sweet, for the first time, plays the lead guitar. In fact, he plays every instrument on every song except drums.
This new taking control of every facet of his music, including mixing and production, has breathed new life and energy into Sweet’s songwriting and music. It’s an absolute joy to hear. From beginning to end, Sweet not only delivers one of his best albums, but one that feels as fresh and relevant today as he did back when.
