With her first new album coming out in five years, Liz Phair embarks on a West Coast tour beginning the first week of October in Southern California.
Phair’s first new album in five years – Funstyle – enters the music marketplace Oct. 19. Bundled with the new release will be a second CD, Girlysound, a collection of demos and obscure tracks predating Phair’s 1993 debut, Exile In Guyville.
Packaged as a two-CD set, the Funstyle / Girlysound combo marks the artist’s beginnings as well as where she is musically in 2010. During the early 1990s Phair distributed her music via cassette tapes under the “Girlysound” moniker, leading to her signing with Matador Records in 1992 with some of the tracks evolving into the songs that appeared on Exile in Guyville.
