I Am an Elastic Firecracker, Tripping Daisy's second album and their first for a major label, bounced out of Island on June 20, 1995, and it's Dallas neo-psychedelia with the fuzz pedals stomped flat. Ted Niceley produced, and he lets Tim DeLaughter's reedy yelp and the band's candy-colored riffs run wild, Wes Berggren's guitar grinding against Mark Pirro's bass while the choruses spin off into day-glo hooks.
"I Got a Girl" was the one everybody heard, the band's biggest hit, with a video MTV played again and again. The album kept on selling, too, topping 300,000 copies in the States by 1998 and going platinum in Canada that May.
