whitechocolatespaceegg by Liz Phair
whitechocolatespaceegg is an album by Liz Phair, released in 1998. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 45 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Polyester Bride”, on 24 lists with a best position of #37.
Whitechocolatespaceegg, Liz Phair's third album, came out on Matador in 1998, and it's the sound of the woman who made Exile in Guyville and Whip-Smart growing up without going soft. The frank talk about sex and relationships that powered those first two records gives way here to marriage, motherhood and family: Phair had recently married and become a mother to a son, and she turns the same sharp, unimpressed eye on domestic life.
Scott Litt produced, and "Polyester Bride", "What Makes You Happy" and "Johnny Feelgood" were the tracks radio grabbed hold of. The album reached 35 on the Billboard 200, and it was the last full-length before her pop turn on Capitol with the self-titled Liz Phair in 2003.
