 Matthew Sweet Articles
Sweet even carries that disorienting vibe to the album's CD jacket, which is printed upside down, with the track list appearing in a different order than on the disc.
Alternating blistering rockers with lyrical acoustic numbers, the album documents both the torment of a disintegrating relationship and the giddy rush of a new one.
Sweet recorded four of the songs live in an experiment inspired by veteran producer Phil Spector's famed "wall of sound" recording technique.

 Net On-line Nebraska Artist Matthew Sweet Musician
Matthew hopes to move the album back up the charts by shooting a new music video featuring the album's second single, "Come To California." That should premier sometime in early July.
Try not to throw the cameras.Even though Matthew is touring to promote his new album, the audience first wants to hear some of his earlier hit songs.
This isn't exactly what Matthew Sweet dreamed of 15 years ago when he was playing bass in high school bands in Lincoln and trying to scrape together enough money to buy equipment.

 CanEHdian.com: Matthew Sweet
Sweet released his first album in 1986, entitled Inside, which was highly polished but nothing special.
However, outside of those who have found him and those critics who have sung his praises, Sweet has never enjoyed the commercial notoriety that other bands seem to have found.
As a sophisticated aural designer of hip rhythms, Sweet absorbed the works of the Sixties B-bands, The Beatles, Beach Boys and the Byrds.

 Book Matthew Sweet for Event, Meeting, Gala
Sweet was something of a music prodigy and signed to CBS in 1985, who released his debut album, Inside, the following year.
Sweet has been embraced as something of an icon by the new Power Pop movement as evidenced by the style of new releases by groups such as Fountains of Wayne and Silver Sun.
Sweet released a mini album entitled Son of Altered Beast in 1994 in North America only.

 Matthew Sweet w/ Tender Idols
Matthew Sweet's recent set at the 9:30 Club included an unhealthy but fun dose of feedback to go with his catchy pop songs, squealing guitar rock and Phil Spector Wall of Sound approximations.
But Sweet seems to be a guy who feels most at home in the studio, crafting his perfect pop songs and multi-tracking harmony vocal parts.
Sweet and his band kicked off their two hour show with the first three tracks from his latest record In Reverse including "Millennium Blues" with guitarist Paul Chastain on trumpet.

 Amazon.com: Blue Sky on Mars: Music: Matthew Sweet
Sweet wanted this album to sound like the demo tapes he made in his own home, because his family and friends would tell him they liked the sound of the demo tapes more than his studio albums.
Sweet's Beatlesque confections avoid sentimentality thanks to the streetwise toughness he gleaned from his connections to such New York punk bands as Television and the Voidoids.
On top of the general lack of quality of the music, the cd I purchased (when it first came out) had a glitch with the way the tracks were edited, so that each song would begin at the end of the previous track.

 pastemusic.com: Matthew Sweet
Released only in Japan, the album is, as Sweet puts in his brief liner notes, dedicated "in gratitude for the many years of love and support you've sent my way." This is no collection of leftovers and B-sides: it is a collection of 12 brand-new songs, written and recorded specifically for this album.
Matthew Sweet began playing music while he was a high school student in his native Lincoln, Nebraska.
The album failed to make any impact, and A&M dropped Sweet as he was working on his third album in 1990.

 Matthew Sweet: Time Capsule: The Best of 90/00 - PopMatters Music Review
Sweet went for Phil Spector/Brian Wilson sonic layers on "If Time Permits", even recording in the same Hollywood studio where Brian endlessly tinkered with Pet Sounds.
There's the crunch of "Divine Intervention", with Sweet's innocently metaphysical lyrics; the jangly and melodic "I've Been Waiting"; Quine's blistering riffs tearing a hole in the ozone on the title track; and weepy pedal steel sprinkling country rock all over the (completely un-ironic) ballad "You Don't Love Me".
A survey of the tracks finds Sweet not so much evolving over the decade as staying true to his distinct power pop stance and refining it.

 Matthew Sweet
Since the early '80s when he was playing guitar with bands like Oh-Ok and Buzz of Delight, Matthew Sweet dreamed of having the illustrious career that he has had so far.
Since then he has managed (with the help of some of the most talented musicians and producers in the world) to prove twice more his ability to put together fun, hook-laden pop albums.
Two months before the album was released, that was already becoming a familiar sight to the band.

 53. Matthew Sweet - Girlfriend
"I Wanted To Tell You" is one of Sweet's best-ever tracks, the perfect blend of tightly marching acoustic guitars, a country-tinged lead, and Sweet's impeccable many-sided vocal harmonies.
Young love is pop music's most enduring and endearing subject, and on Girlfriend, Matthew Sweet renews its prominence, guiding listeners through a full thematic exploration of the teen relationship.
Having honed his songwriting and playing skills in his first band Buzz of Delight and on two little-known solo efforts, Sweet comes into his own on Girlfriend, playing most of the album's guitars and all of its bass and multi-layered vocals.

 INTERVIEW: Matthew Sweet - Joe Silva
The last time Matthew was circumnavigating the halls and bars of the collegiate circuit, I accidently taped part of a conversation with him trying to persuade his record company people to let him have a break from the string of interviews he was doing on the road.
Having a musical coming of age that was obliquely associated with (but not actually a part of) the Athens, Georgia scene of the early eighties, Matthew didn't appear primarily interested in miming the guitar, bass and drum success of his neighbors.
But then again, it's still a fairly dicey business these days trying to fashion a career by trafficking in pop songs, whether they're as pretty flawless as Matthew's are or not.

 eBay - CD: 100 Fun (UPC: 614223108124)
Sweet's desperation culminates in the semi-delusional vibe ebbing from "Lost My Mind": while Menck plays a constant militaristic cadence, Quine and Lloyd riff in and out of the song and O'Brien's mellotron pulses and oozes in a vortex that has Sweet's voice ebbing in and out of a fog.
Personnel: Matthew Sweet (vocals, acoustic, electric and 12-string guitars, piano, electric piano, electric harpsichord, synthesizer, bass, theremin); Brendan O'Brien (acoustic, electric and slide guitars, piano, electric piano, electric harpsichord, Clavinet, Mellotron); Richard Lloyd, Robert Quine (electric guitar); Greg Leisz (pedal steel guitar, electric lap steel guitar, mandolin); Stuart Johnson, Ric Menck (drums).
Helmed by uber-producer Brendan O'Brien, the album retains Sweet's veiled cynicism, whether it's the self-loathing of "Sick Of Myself" or the feeling of abandonment in "Walk Out," a song whose point is point driven by O'Brien's insistent harpsichord playing.

Sweet is just thankful he has fulfilled his final contractual obligation to the label previously known as Zoo Entertainment.
Much of Sweet's music is timeless, guitar-driven impeccable pop.

Personnel includes: Matthew Sweet (vocals, guitar, bass); Greg Leisz.
The mix has just the right amount of crunch and texture, and masterful accompaniment from the likes of Robert Quine and Richard Lloyd (guitarists from seminal punk-era groups the Voidoids and Television respectively), provides an incisive, much-needed edge that perfectly plays off Sweet's easy vocal style.

For guitarist/songwriter Matthew Sweet (music), it evidently wasn't enough to put together last year's critically-acclaimed "The Thorns" with Pete Droge and Shawn Mullins.
But even that album isn't enough, as Sweet has released "Kimi Ga Suki"--originally issued in Japan in 2003--and "Living Things" simultaneously.

One thing Matthew Sweet has always brilliantly touched on is the lust factor, the not ready to say I love you, but you swear you like them a lot songs.
Enact one's god given right to go through the phases of Gilrfriend as if it all just happened for the first time.
In the past decade Sweet has stayed relatively quiet, possibly hiding out among the cult love of his less self-deprecating Japanese fans.
