On the heels of our reissue of the LILYS 1999 cult classic The 3 Way, were honored to bring you its predecessor of equal acclaim, 1996s Better Cant Make Your Life Better. Together they form what most would call the bands pseudo British Invasion period, and in our opinion, two of the greatest albums to come out of the 90s. This album found a new audience via multiple tracks appearing in AMCs Lodge 49. Were honored to bring you the first vinyl reissue of Better! "After shaking off their early 90s shoegaze guise, the Lilys delivered a major-label debut thats full of Kinks-in the big-K and little-k senses. Better Cant Make Your Life Better is classic Brit-rock contorted. While Shovel Into Spade Kit revs up on a snarling riff youd swear was emanating from an old Pye Records 45, Heasley spends the rest of the circuitous song smashing up the vinyl and gluing the pieces back together into curious new combinations."
