In 1991 Matthew Sweet released GIRLFRIEND, an alternative rock milestone, and quickly followed it up with two back-to-back classics, ALTERED BEAST and 100% FUN, that cemented his reputation as an elder statesman of indie-rock. Now, nine years after his last major solo release and on the heels of side projects with the Thorns and the Bangles Susanna Hoffs, comes his long-awaited comeback album, SUNSHINE LIES, which hearkens back to the glories of his revered 90s albums.
