Against Perfection by Adorable
Against Perfection is an album by Adorable, released in 1993. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 5 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Homeboy”, on 3 lists with a best position of #42.
Against Perfection, the debut album from Adorable, came out on Creation on 1 March 1993, with SBK handling it in America. Alan Moulder produced it, and he wraps singer and guitarist Pete Fijalkowski's songs in a big, blurred, shimmering guitar sound, with a swaggering pop band hiding under the haze. "Sunshine Smile" became a college radio hit, "Homeboy" joined it on rock radio's countdowns, and "Still Life" strips things back by leaving the drums out entirely. The band took the album across North America on tour, and Fake followed.
