Alex Chilton - Like Flies on Sherbert

Dive into the raw, eclectic sound of Alex Chilton's Like Flies on Sherbert, a cult classic that embodies the rebellious spirit of '70s rock. Released in 1979, this album marks Chilton's departure from his Big Star fame, showcasing a more experimental and gritty side. Featuring a mix of garage rock, punk, and soulful ballads, it’s an unpredictable ride from start to finish. Tracks like "Bananaville" and "The Happy Song" offer a glimpse into Chilton's unique ability to blend humor with melancholy, while his distinct voice and unrefined production style lend a rough-edged charm.

This vinyl edition captures the authenticity of Chilton's lo-fi, almost anarchic sound, making it a must-have for collectors and fans of influential, boundary-pushing music. Whether you’re discovering it for the first time or revisiting this iconic work, Like Flies on Sherbert stands as a testament to Alex Chilton's enduring legacy as an artist who always kept listeners on their toes.
