A Place in the Sun

Lit

High-gloss California power pop with a hangover. Buzzing guitars and massive hooks mask a core of self-deprecating irony and late-night regret.

February 23, 1999 · BMG

Find on Amazon

A high-energy collision of suburban boredom and the frantic realization of one's own mistakes.

Moments Worth Listening For
The iconic opening guitar riff of My Own Worst Enemy that instantly defines the late-90s radio sound.
The heavy, dragging tempo and yearning vocal delivery during the chorus of Miserable.
The bright, shimmering guitar layers that open Quicksand, providing a brief moment of pure power-pop bliss.
