Product Description
After striking gold with Everclear, Capitol Records returned to Portland and signed The Dandy Warhols, a quartet hip-deep in psychedelia-soaked pop songs that bring to mind everyone from Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd to The Jesus & Mary Chain. Songs range from the spacey, zero-gravity instrumental "Pete International Airport" to "Not If You Were The Last JunkyOn Earth", a cheeky pop response to heroin chic that's slathered in kitschy 80's synths. Warhols frontman Courtney Taylor's songs burrow into the deepest folds of your brain, combining layers of swirling keyboards and sharp guitar work with attention-grabbing topics from the Moral Majority ("Hard On For Jesus") to the indier-than-thou cognoscenti ("Cool As Kim Deal"). Although the Dandy's spacey head music occasionally flirts with somnambulism, there's enough hooks and shinyparts thrown in to shake you out of any stupor.

Customer Reviews
Very good CD
One of America's best bands, yes definatly. Their album 'Come Down' is better than the rest and is a winner.
The good new wave/rock/Techno style of all their songs makes it easy to like and the funny take-it-out-on-the-world lyrics are just as good. I love this CD and I can garentee that you will like this. Say hello to your new favourite band!
Beezer!
A truly brilliant album, this has always been in my top ten for the last decade despite stiff competition from the Pixies, The Stones, the Beasties, Beck, Lambchop, Elliot Smith etc. If you like music, you'll love this. Please don't buy it just for the singles - like all great bands, they do albums, just albums.
wicked
Dandys best album ever. With songs like Minnasoter, boys better, good morning and not if you were... this is easily a five star album. If only now they could come up with something similar.
