That album is a true classic. I recently did a Spotify deep dive on VF and they're still going strong. Their most recent album was released in 2019.

And let's not forget this classic homage... Hawke, Ryder, Stiller, Garofalo, and the Femmes??? That's some quality filmmaking!!

The consistent sound on that album seems like it was just done in one take. Also “less is more” concept of indie lofi production which has really been lost in today’s sound…it works unbelievable here.

The album is a unique cult classic. I think albums work better at different points in people’s lives, while it’s a nostalgic time travel for me, it still holds up today as just a fun tunes.

Reality Bites…just a perfect movie in 94. Glad to find someone to reminisce over this Canuck!

I agree... That album deserves more credit. Like you said it was totally unique, especially for 1983.

As for Reality Bites - love that movie. A pretty accurate snapshot of the times IMO.

I think we aged ourselves with this one but the reminiscing is fun!!
